How to use the Retirement Calculator

- Add monthly contribution, expected return and inflation.
- Calculate to compare nominal and inflation-adjusted values.
Retirement Calculator formula
Future value combines starting balance growth with end-of-month contributions; real value discounts by assumed inflation.
Worked example
Inputs: Age 30 to 65, $10,000 saved, $100 monthly, 7% return and 2.5% inflation.
What to expect: The output is a scenario estimate of retirement accumulation, not a guaranteed balance.
How to read your result
Small changes in return, contribution and retirement age compound over decades.
Frequently asked questions
Does this recommend withdrawals?
No. It estimates accumulation only and does not provide a withdrawal rate.
Why show inflation-adjusted value?
Future dollars usually buy less, so the adjusted figure provides purchasing-power context.
