Future perfect simple vs. future perfect continuous

  • The future perfect simple is used for actions or states that will be finished before or at a certain time in the future.
  • The future perfect continuous is used to describe actions that will continue until a point of time in the future and will not be finished.

Future perfect simple:

I will have decorated the room by Friday.
We'll have made the cake before noon.

Future perfect continuous:

I'll have been decorating the room for a week on Friday.
We'll have been making the cake for three hours at noon.

Note:

We use the future perfect continuous for incomplete, uninterrupted actions. If we refer to a number of individual events or events that were repeated, we must use the future perfect simple.

When I am sixty, I'll have been building houses for thirty years. (one incomplete activity)
When I am sixty, I'll have built more than fifty houses. (fifty individual actions)
By 5 o'clock I'll have been washing this car for an hour and a half. (one uninterrupted activity)
By 5 o'clock I'll have washed this car and replaced the tyres. (two completed activities that will be done one after another)
