Retirement Savings Calculator

Project your retirement nest egg from today through retirement age.

Understanding This Calculator

The standard retirement calculator: current age, target retirement age, current savings, monthly contributions, and expected return. Watch the numbers grow year by year.

Core Formula

FV = Current × (1+r)^n + Monthly × [((1+r)^n - 1) / r] (monthly compounded)

What is the safe withdrawal rate?

The classic 4% rule has been validated for 30+ year retirements. More conservative retirees target 3-3.5% for longer horizons or bequest goals.

Should I include Social Security?

Yes. Social Security is the base layer of retirement income for most Americans. Add it after modeling your personal savings nest egg.

* All calculations above are theoretical estimates. Actual returns vary based on market performance, fees, taxes, inflation, and economic factors. This tool is for educational purposes only — not financial advice.
