Back when brakes contained asbestos, you could count on changing brakes every 20,000 to 30,000 miles (or more for really high end pads and shoes). Now that brakes are constructed of ceramics and dessicated metal, it is not so easy to guestimate by mileage.
The best gauge you have is the manner in which you drive. If you drive with two feet (one on the throttle one on the brake) count on changing brakes as often as ever 4-5,000 miles. If you anticipate your stops, and use the engine to decelerate, then you might be able to stretch this out to 10-20,000 miles. Either way, count on changing pads at least once a year, so it is best to invest in lifetime pads so you only pay once.
I agree with the first paragraph of this answer but the second paragraph is for the most part totally incorrect. If you drive normally, mixed city & highway driving, you can expect to get at least 40,000 miles on your brake pads before they need changing. If you drive mostly highway then you may get 70 to 80,000 miles before you need to change the pads. You will be warned when the pads need replacing by a high pitched squealing noise when you stop. The very first time you hear that noise have the pads replaced.
