Assumes a constant return with monthly compounding — real returns vary.
What this means
This projects your retirement nest egg by growing your current savings and monthly contributions at an assumed return until your retirement age. The estimated income applies the '4% rule' — a common guideline that you can withdraw about 4% of your savings in the first year (adjusting for inflation after) with a good chance the money lasts ~30 years.
Recommendations
- Contribute enough to capture any employer match — it's an immediate, guaranteed return.
- Increase contributions whenever your income rises; small bumps compound into large sums.
- Favour tax-advantaged accounts (401(k), IRA, pension) to keep more of your growth.
Watch out
- This is a simplified projection, not financial advice. Real returns, inflation, taxes and fees will change the outcome.
- The 4% rule is a guideline, not a guarantee — the safe rate depends on markets and your time horizon.
