How Retirement Savings Works
Retirement planning is one of the most important financial decisions you'll make. This calculator helps you project how much you'll have saved by your target retirement age, factoring in your current savings, ongoing contributions, employer matching, and expected investment returns.
Key concepts:
- Employer Match: Many employers match a percentage of your contributions — that's free money. Always contribute enough to get the full match.
- 4% Rule: A common guideline suggests you can safely withdraw 4% of your retirement savings annually without running out of money over a 30-year retirement.
- Compound Growth: The earlier you start, the more time your money has to grow. Even small increases in monthly contributions can make a huge difference over decades.
Adjust the inputs above to explore different scenarios — try increasing your monthly contribution, retirement age, or expected return to see how each factor impacts your projected nest egg.
