About Retirement Calculators
Retirement planning is a long-horizon problem with compounding effects β every year of delay costs more than the last. How much you save, what rate of return you earn, when you retire, and how much you withdraw each year all interact to determine whether your money outlasts you.
These tools project retirement readiness, estimate Social Security benefits, calculate required minimum distributions, and model FIRE scenarios so you can quantify what financial independence actually requires.
Start with the decision
Choose the calculator that matches what you're trying to decide β not just the formula you want to run.
Adjust the variables
Change loan terms, contribution amounts, or income levels to see how different choices affect the outcome.
Run it before you commit
The best time to use these tools is before you sign, apply, or accept β not after.
Read the context
Each calculator includes guidance on what the numbers mean and how to interpret the result.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do I need to save for retirement?
A common target is 10β15Γ your final salary, or enough to withdraw 4% annually and cover expenses. If you need $60,000/year in retirement and Social Security covers $20,000, your portfolio needs to generate $40,000/year β requiring roughly $1,000,000 in savings at a 4% withdrawal rate.
