It's generally accepted that the Earth, along with the rest of our Solar system, is 4.55 billion years (give or take 1%). It is estimated that the Earth will last for approximately another 4 billion years, after which the Sun will have grown to become a Red Dwarf and have subsumed all of the inner planets.
