Status Tiers in the Marriott Rewards program are based on the number of Elite Nights earned; Lifetime MR status is based on cumulative Nights and Points. Whatever status level you've earned as of 12/31/15 will remain in effect until 2/28/17 unless you attain a higher level in the interim:
Silver = 10 Nights
Gold = 50 Nights
Platinum = 75 Nights
Lifetime Silver = 250 Nights and 1.2 million Points
Lifetime Gold = 500 Nights and 1.6 million Points
Lifetime Platinum = 750 Nights and 2 million Points
There's also a Platinum Premier status tier which consists of a certain percentage of the highest-earning Platinum members. The requirements change year-to-year and any benefits are unpublished.

Rollover Nights are all those accumulated above the amount required for your attained status tier. The equation to figure out how many Rollover Nights should be posted to your account when the year-end changeover is done, based on info in the "2015 Nights Detail" box in your account, is:
"2015 Total" Nights Earned this Year
<less> "2014 rollover" Nights (from 2014 to 2015)
<less> Number of Nights required for Status held as of 12/31/15 (10 Silver, 50 Gold, 75 Plat)
<equals> Rollover Nights for 2015 into 2016
********
*See these pages on marriott.com: Member Benefits At A Glance and Elite Rollover Nights and Lifetime Status and Expiration Guidelines.
*Note Marriott announced in advance a new policy, that effective 2/1/16 the expiration terms&conditions will be enforced.
*Marriott might grant status based on something other than actual Elite Nights earned; e.g. a Silver with 45 Nights might be granted Gold, or, a Platinum who hasn't reached 75 Nights might have that Platinum extended. Sometimes there's no rhyme or reason to it. If you're one of the "lucky" ones remember that it could be a double-edge sword because your Rollover Nights will be counted based on the status that's extended and not what's actually earned. For example, if you've accumulated 45 Nights then your status should officially be Silver with 35 Rollover Nights, but if Marriott grants you Gold then no Nights will roll over (because 45 is less than the 50 Gold requirement.)
*Year-end changeover and Rollover Nights accounting will take place during January but each may not take place on the same day - watch your accounts and feel free to give the rest of us a heads-up here if/when you're seeing changes. During the past few years there have been incorrect Status and/or Rollover Nights notifications generated by preliminary changeovers, so it's a good idea to take a screen shot or printout of your "Account Activity" and "Nights Detail" account information on Dec 31st, just in case.
