Calculate how much you need to save for retirement and whether your current plan will support your desired lifestyle using the 4% rule.
Calculate how much you need to save for retirement and whether your current plan will support your desired lifestyle using the 4% rule.
The calculation uses industry-standard financial mathematics to provide accurate estimates. Our methodology is transparent and based on established formulas.
Our calculations use standard financial formulas and are accurate for the inputs provided. However, real-world conditions (fees, rate changes, taxes) may cause variations.
Use this calculator for educational planning and rough estimates. For major decisions, consult qualified professionals who can review your complete financial situation.
Uses the 4% safe withdrawal rate to determine required nest egg, then calculates required contributions using future value of annuity formulas.
Disclaimer: Retirement planning involves many uncertainties. The 4% rule is a guideline, not a guarantee. Consult a financial advisor.

A common rule is 25x your annual expenses (4% withdrawal rule). This calculator shows exactly how your savings grow and whether they'll last through retirement.
The 4% rule suggests you can withdraw 4% of your portfolio in the first year of retirement, adjusting for inflation each year, with a high probability of lasting 30 years. This calculator models it explicitly.
This calculator uses nominal returns (before inflation) and shows both nominal and real (inflation-adjusted) balances. Real values show purchasing power in today's dollars.
Set your retirement age lower! The calculator works for any age. Early retirement requires higher savings rates — this shows exactly what's needed.
