What is the maximum height of the pilot when he/she ejects from the plane to save his/her life. I mean the peak height after ejection in air.

I think that would vary depending on the mechanism involved.

The ejector mechanism for each aircraft is calculated to cause the pilot to rise about four to six times the height of the tail fin, before the fin reaches him/her. Therefore, it varies with aircraft type.
