Turtle age calculator

Have you wondered how old you would be as a turtle? Or how to calculate turtle years to human years? We all know that turtles live long lives. As with any other animal age calculation, we need to compare human and turtle life expectancy. For easy calculation turtles live twice as long as humans.

So, for easy calculation your age in turtle years, just simply multiply by 2. It means, that 1 human year will be 2 turtle years. For example if you are 20 years old, in turtle age it will alredy be 40 years. In the another way, if you have a turtle as a pet which is 10 years old, it is just 5 human years old. It is the easy way how to turn turtle years in human years.

If will be quite funny to live in a turtle world. Turtle hatchlings can play for 10 years until they will go to school for the first time. Also they will have to wait 30 years to open account on any social media. And for buying alcohol and cigarettes they have to wait till they are an adult which will be roughtly 40 years!

In imaginary United States of Turtles, the minumum age to canditate for president will be more than 85 years! In that higher age, that candidate will be a very good, wise and an experienced head of state. On the other hand, the average age to go to retirement will be more than 150 years. It will be a long and productive life.

All these calculations are more for fun. It is not possible to make exact calculation. Human life expectancy depends on region and life style. The age and life expectancy of turtles varies greatly depending on the species. To be honest, in this calculator we are using ratio 2.5 and it is more for turtoise. Turtoises live considerably longer than turtles. So the calculator can exactly find your turtle birthday but it just for fun and imagine some situations in turtle/tortoise word.

More special turtle events you can see in table below.

In fact turtles live 80 years. Whereas tortoises live much longer. Tortoises are sea (water) creatures and turtles are land animals. In this calculation, we are using a tortoise lifespan of 177 years and we call it turtle age. Logical no? But it is more fun.

For more serious turtle calculation you need to know exact lifespan. There are more than 300 spieces of tutles and tortioises. Some of them live only 10 years.
