How we calculate

We first inflate your current monthly expense to the retirement year, then compute the present value of a growing annuity over your retirement duration. By default, withdrawals are assumed at the end of each year (you can switch to beginning).

FAQ

Should I use monthly or annual figures?

This tool models on an annual basis which is adequate for planning. Monthly modelling gives very similar results over long horizons.

Does this include taxes and emergencies?

No. Consider a separate emergency buffer and any taxes applicable on withdrawals.

Can I add pension or rental income?

We can add an offset input to subtract guaranteed income from required corpus if you’d like.
