This calculator is used to determine how much in retirement savings is needed to achieve desired retirement income.
Note: The amount in the Desired periodic withdrawal during retirement field is usually the desired monthly retirement income.
Example
A couple expects to have $250,000 at retirement. Will this provide them with the $2,800 per month that they hope to have during retirement?
Field | Input |
---|---|
Desired periodic withdrawal during retirement | $2,800 |
Withdrawals per year | 12 |
Years of withdrawals | 20 |
Annual rate of return | 10% |
Annual inflation rate during retirement | 1% |
Accumulated investment at retirement | $250,000 |
In this example, the results show that they will not have enough accumulated investment at retirement to meet their goal of $2,800 per month. They will need $313,706.00 at retirement to meet their goal of having $2,800 per month in retirement income.
