Pig Age Calculators and Tools

These tools turn your pig's age into something easier to act on: a human-year equivalent, the life stage it is in now, and a realistic lifespan range. All 2 are free, quick and based on pig reference data.

Pig Age tools: what they help with

These tools turn your pig's age into something easier to act on: a human-year equivalent, the life stage it is in now, and a realistic lifespan range. Life stage decides more than people expect. Food, exercise, how often to see the vet and which health checks are worth asking for all shift as a pig gets older.

What to know about age and life stage for pigs

Pigs typically live 12 to 18 years. They are mature at around 9 months, so the early months count for a lot of "aging".

Pig age in human years chart

Mapped so that pig maturity (about 0.8 years) equals human 18 and the top of the 18-year lifespan equals human 80.

A practical tip

If you adopted your pig as an adult and only know a rough age, enter your best estimate and use the life stage, not the exact number, to guide care.

Other pig topics

Most questions lead to another. You may also find these useful: pig behavior tools, pig breeding tools, pig cost tools and pig grooming tools. Or see every pig tool in one place.

Age tools for other pets

The same kind of tool exists for other species, each using that animal's own reference data: horse age, pony age, donkey age and goat age.

Frequently asked questions

Do pigs age the same way people do?

No. Most animals age fastest in the first year or two, then slow down. That is why the pig age calculators use species-specific curves rather than a simple multiplier like "one year equals seven".

How long do pigs live?

Typically 12–18 years with good care.

Which pig age tool should I use first?

Most people start with the Pig Age Calculator, the most used tool in this group. If your question is more specific, the list above describes what each of the 2 tools does.

How accurate are the results?

They are estimates based on published reference data for pigs, and each tool lists its sources. Individual animals vary, so treat results as a guide and check health decisions with your vet.
