How It Works

We calculate the future value of your current savings plus the future value of your monthly contributions, both growing at your expected annual return rate. The 4% rule estimates your sustainable monthly income in retirement.

Example

If you're 30 years old with $50,000 saved and contribute $500/month at 7% return, by age 65 you'll have approximately $1.2 million.
