100 Days Until Retirement
Inside the final 100 days, a countdown changes character. It stops being a distant number and becomes a lap of honor. This page counts it with you.

The final-100 tradition
Something interesting happens to retirement countdowns at 100 days: they go public. Office drawers open to reveal paper chains with 100 links. Coworkers start asking "how many now?" The last day of the person retiring becomes a shared event — countdown parties, a final cake, sometimes a literal bell to ring on the way out.
If you're inside 100 days: congratulations, and here's the checklist for the last stretch. If you're buying for someone who's nearly there, countdown gifts — physical countdown clocks included — are the single most on-theme present that exists.
What fits in 100 days
📅 About 71 work days — time enough to hand over every project you own and train whoever inherits them.
💵 Roughly 7 paychecks — a final savings sprint, if you're the sprinting kind.
🎉 And exactly 14 weekends — the last ones that end with a Monday alarm.
Count it your way
Some people count calendar days, some count work days, some count paychecks. All three are on this page — enter your date once and pick the number that feels right.
