Our retirement calculator performs a calculation that attempts to identify your “retirement number” by taking the following factors into consideration.

  • 3% inflation rate
  • 5% rate of return on retirement savings
  • 80% adjusted retirement income level
  • A 25 year retirement plan

All of these components are included in an equation that provides a general retirement savings estimate that will help give you a guideline to strive for. If you think you’re off track based on the number you’re provided, don’t panic. Our team can help you reach your number with a customized plan that provides you with actionable steps.

How Much Money Do I Need To Retire?

As a general guideline, you’ll need to replace approximately 70%-85% of your annual income in retirement. For example, if you have an annual income of $100,000, it’s commonly recommended that you have enough savings to withdraw about $80,000 annually while retired.

It’s important to mention that this is a general rule of thumb and does not apply for everybody and their unique retirement plan. This simple equation doesn’t take into account several key factors such as inflation, current savings, future expenses, and more. For instance, you may be able to readjust your retirement plans if you know you won’t have a mortgage payment once your retirement begins—that could be a significant monthly payment that no longer needs to be accounted for.

To better understand how much money you need to retire, we recommend working with a financial advisor who can help build out a retirement roadmap while having your best interest in mind.
