Assumptions and how this is calculated
  • Existing savings and monthly contributions grow at your assumed annual rate, compounded monthly, from your current age to your retirement age.
  • "Today's buying power" discounts the projected nominal balance by your assumed inflation rate over the years until retirement.
  • Sustainable monthly income is estimated using a common 4% annual withdrawal guideline applied to the inflation-adjusted balance — a simplification, not a guarantee that savings will last.
  • This does not account for the state old age grant, other income sources, tax, fees, or your full financial position.
Illustrative only — not a retirement needs analysis. This tool gives a simplified, educational projection based on the assumptions you enter. It does not replace a full retirement needs analysis, which considers your actual savings vehicles, tax position, life expectancy assumptions, and goals.
