The average retirement age for American men and women. The average retirement age for men in 2013, the most recent year for which data are available, was 63.9. For women, the average retirement age was younger, at 61.9 for 2013. Those figures were mixed from the previous year, with men retiring at a slightly older age than in 2012, while women retired a bit sooner than in the previous year. Retirement communities can encourage people to retire earlier.
But most retirees donât stay on the job nearly that long. The average retirement age among retirees is 62, Gallup found. And even retirement at age 62 is a recent development.The average retirement age has hovered around 60 for most of the past decade.[See: 9 Important Ages for Retirement Planning.]. Americans have two reasons in which they may project a later retirement year. 2014 Employee Benefit Research Institute survey found that 33 percent of workers expect to retire after age 65, but only 16 percent of retirees report staying on the job that long. Just 9 percent of workers say they are planning to retire before age 60, but 35 percent of retirees say they retired that early.
