Divorce360.com has a Marriage Calculator out today. The Marriage Calculator on Divorce360.com helps you determine if your marriage will last and how soon for divorce in your near future.

Divorce360.com says the following about the calculator in a press release today, on Britney Spears’ birthday no less:

“If you think America’s divorce rate is 50 percent, you’re not alone. But you are wrong, according to Betsey Stevenson, assistant professor of business and public policy at University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School ….

“To help people understand how divorce differs based on factors like education, age of marriage, and the era in which you married, Stevenson — in partnership with divorce360.com — developed The Marriage Calculator to show these differences to the public. Moreover, this calculator lets people see how the incidence of divorce evolves throughout the life of a marriage.

“The calculator uses data from the U.S. Census bureau to allow users to compare themselves to others who married about the same time period, have a similar education and have been married as long as you. With the marriage calculator, you can find out how many people with similar backgrounds have divorced. In addition, it estimates how many people like you are likely to get divorced in the next five years.

“No one has made this information so easily accessible to the public before,” said Stevenson, who studies marriage and divorce trends. “People can use this tool to think about hypotheticals. The past is an imperfect predictor of the future, but it is one of the better tools we have.”

So what are the big factors determining your possibility for divorce?

“Your divorce rate varies dramatically by your age, education level and year of marriage. This is not a one-size fits all calculation. For instance, if you’re 25 and thinking about getting married, let’s fast forward five years and see what the results say about your chances,” said G. Cotter Cunningham, CEO of divorce360.com.

But does the past predict the future? That’s the question behind the calculator.

“In summary, the past is being used to determine the future with this calculator. Here’s a tool for everyone who is thinking of getting married right now. Plug in your numbers and you can quickly see how many people, just like you, are already divorced and what percent chance you have of divorcing within the next five years.”
