There were many types of saber toothed cats. If you are referring to the most famous genus, Smilodon, they existed on Earth for nearly 1.8 million years.
The whole subfamily of saber-toothed cats existed for 22.989 million years.
There were also a number of other unrelated animals referred to as saber toothed.
As far as life span, I would guess that they lived less than 20 years, similar to wild lions.

What are the structural differences between the saber-toothed and the present-day tiger?
First, saber toothed cats are not a type of prehistoric tiger. The name saber toothed tiger is a misnomer, and saber toothed cats are not ancestral to tigers. That said, saber toothed cats had very long canine teeth, which tigers do not have. Some saber toothed cats, such as Smilodon, had longer front legs than hind legs, which is different from tigers. They ran in a manner more similar to bears than to that of cats like tigers. They also had very strong upper bodies for tackling large prey, such as bison, which they then dispatched with their saber teeth.
