Make your retirement countdown
- Choose Customize this countdown and set the date of your last day, and the time you clock out if you like.
- For a long countdown, show years, months and days. Months and years are calculated from real calendar dates, so the numbers stay exact.
- Turn on the progress bar and set the start to your first day on the job, or the day you decided to retire, to see the share that’s behind you.
- Add an end message such as “Happy retirement!” and share the link.
count.live counts calendar time, not working days, so weekends and holidays are included in the total.
Ideas
- The office: colleagues can follow along on a team page or intranet; use Embed on website.
- Retirement parties: count down to the farewell event instead and share it with everyone invited.
- Family: a shared link for partners and kids planning trips for the first months.
Your countdown is private by design: it’s described entirely by its link, and nothing about it is stored on our servers.
