Frequently Asked Questions

What can I do with the Retirement Income Calculator?

Our Retirement Income Calculator helps you estimate how long your retirement savings will last based on your withdrawal strategy, investment returns, and inflation. It's perfect for individuals who are approaching retirement or already retired and want to plan a sustainable withdrawal strategy.

How do I calculate my retirement income?

Enter your current retirement savings, desired annual withdrawal amount, expected rate of return, and inflation rate. The calculator will project how long your savings will last and show you year-by-year breakdowns of your retirement account balance.

What is the 4% rule in retirement planning?

The 4% rule is a guideline suggesting that retirees can withdraw 4% of their retirement portfolio in the first year, then adjust that amount for inflation each subsequent year, with a high probability that their savings will last for 30 years. Our calculator can help you test this rule with your specific situation.

What rate of return should I use for my calculations?

While historical average stock market returns have been around 7-10% before inflation, it's generally recommended to use a more conservative estimate of 4-6% for retirement withdrawal planning, as your portfolio may become more conservative in retirement. Adjust based on your investment strategy and risk tolerance.

Can I save my retirement income calculations?

Yes, your calculations are automatically saved to your browser's local storage. They will remain available when you return to the calculator, even after closing your browser or restarting your device.

How does inflation affect my retirement income?

Inflation reduces the purchasing power of your money over time. Our calculator allows you to input an expected inflation rate to show how your withdrawals may need to increase over time to maintain the same standard of living, and how this affects the longevity of your savings.

Is my financial data secure when using this calculator?

Yes, we take data security seriously. Your financial information is stored locally in your browser and never sent to our servers. This ensures complete privacy and security of your personal financial information.
