1) Future savings growth: Savings are compounded monthly before retirement.
Ending Balance = (Beginning Balance × (1 + monthly return)) + total monthly contribution
2) Contribution with match: Total monthly contribution includes employee savings and the employer match.
Total Contribution = Employee Contribution × (1 + Employer Match Rate)
3) Inflation-adjusted retirement spending: Today’s spending target is inflated until retirement.
Retirement Expense = Current Expense × (1 + Inflation Rate)Years to Retirement
4) Required nest egg: The income gap is capitalized using the withdrawal rate, then adjusted for one-time needs and estate goals.
Required Capital = ((Annual Expense − Annual Retirement Income) ÷ Withdrawal Rate) + One-Time Expense + Estate Goal
5) Funding ratio: This shows how much of the estimated target is covered.
Funding Ratio = Projected Retirement Savings ÷ Required Capital
It estimates your retirement year, projected savings, capital target, funding ratio, retirement income gap, and balance path through life expectancy.
Inflation raises future living costs. A spending target that seems comfortable today can require much more income and capital decades later.
It is the annual percentage of portfolio assets you expect to draw in retirement. Lower rates are more conservative and usually require a larger nest egg.
Yes. Matching contributions can materially increase long-term savings because extra deposits compound for many years before retirement.
It shows the projected ending balance after retirement withdrawals and investment growth through your selected life expectancy.
A depletion age appears when projected withdrawals and expenses overwhelm portfolio growth before life expectancy, based on the assumptions you entered.
Yes. Change retirement age, contributions, returns, income, or spending assumptions, then recalculate to compare alternative timelines.
No. It is a planning calculator built for estimates. Use it with personal advice, tax guidance, and benefit plan documents.
