How to use this calculator

Enter your current age, desired retirement age, current savings, monthly contribution, expected annual return and safe withdrawal rate, then press Project. Your projected balance at retirement and monthly income appear with a growth chart.

What the result means

The projected balance is what your savings and contributions grow to by retirement. Monthly income applies a safe withdrawal rate — commonly 4% — to show what that balance can safely pay you each year.

Frequently asked questions

What's a safe withdrawal rate?

4% is the classic rule of thumb — withdrawing 4% of your balance yearly, adjusted for inflation, is designed to last 30 years.

What return should I assume?

6-8% is a common long-term planning assumption for a diversified portfolio. Use a lower number if you want to be conservative.
