Frequently Asked Questions
How is the nest egg calculated?
Your current savings grow with monthly compounding at the expected return, and your monthly contribution is added each month until retirement. The result is the projected balance at your retirement age.
What is the withdrawal rate?
It is the share of your savings you take out each year in retirement. The 4 percent rule is a common guideline, suggesting you could withdraw about 4 percent of the balance per year. This tool uses it only to estimate monthly income.
Does it account for inflation or taxes?
No. The figures are in today’s dollars before inflation and taxes. Treat them as a simple projection to compare choices, not exact future amounts.
Is the result guaranteed?
No. It assumes a steady return every year, while real markets rise and fall. Use it to see how saving more or starting earlier changes the outcome.
Is my information sent anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your numbers never leave your computer and it works offline once loaded.
Can I use it for a 401k or IRA?
Yes. Enter your account balance as the current savings and your regular paycheck or monthly contribution. The projection works the same for any retirement account.
