Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the free online retirement calculator.

It grows your current savings and monthly contributions at the return you enter until your retirement age, then estimates income from that balance.
Four percent a year is a common starting point. A lower rate is safer for a long retirement, while a higher one spends the balance faster.
Yes. The monthly contribution is added at the end of each month and the balance compounds monthly at the annual return you enter.
No. Figures are in future money unless you enter a real return, so subtract expected inflation from your return to see real values.
Retiring later gives the balance more years to compound and usually adds contributions, so the nest egg grows faster than a simple pay rise.
No. It is an estimate based on a steady return, and real markets rise and fall, so treat the result as a guide rather than a promise.
The tool stops at your retirement age. It shows the balance and a first year income, but not how the money lasts through retirement.
No. The projection runs entirely in your browser, so your age, savings and contributions are never sent to a server.
