Retirement calculator.
Compare projected savings with inflation-adjusted retirement spending.
Retirement inputs
Contributions stay constant in nominal money until retirement. Spending and pension rise with inflation after retirement. One constant return applies before and after retirement; taxes, fees and sequence-of-returns risk are excluded. This is not a safe-withdrawal guarantee.
How this retirement calculator works
The saving phase grows an initial balance and fixed nominal monthly contributions. At retirement, the balance is converted to today’s money. The drawdown phase uses a real return and the gap between spending and an inflation-linked pension through the planning age.
A worked example
At zero return and zero inflation, spending 2,000 monthly after a 1,000 pension needs 240,000 for twenty years. This example ignores taxes and uncertain returns.
Does lasting through the planning age mean the plan is safe?
No. A constant-return model omits market sequencing, longevity beyond the selected age, unexpected spending and tax effects. Use it to examine assumptions, not as a guarantee or personalized retirement advice.
