Retirement Savings Calculator

The standard advice is that for each year in retirement you'll need about 70% to 80% of your inflation-adjusted pre-retirement gross income, or more accurately 70% to 80% of your pre-retirement expenses. It's okay to use these estimates if retirement is a ways off. But if retirement is fast approaching, these one-size-fits-all formulas may leave you short, especially with today's longer life expectancies and more active retirement lifestyles. Either way, use this Retirement Savings Calculator to help you make some projections.

It will be easier to complete the calculator if you have the following handy:

  • Your last paycheck stub
  • Your most recent employer-sponsored retirement plan statements
  • Your most recent retirement investment statements
  • Last year's tax return
  • Your list of current income and expenses
  • Your Social Security retirement benefit estimate from the Social Security Administration
