How to use the estimate

A retirement projection is most useful as a planning tool. It can show whether your current savings pace seems close to your goal and how sensitive the outcome is to contribution size, time, and return assumptions.

Use a conservative rate assumption as a stress test.
Run multiple contribution levels to see what closes the gap fastest.
Remember that inflation and retirement spending needs can change your target over time.

Retirement planning notes

This calculator assumes a steady return and fixed monthly contribution. Real portfolios fluctuate, so it helps to look at more than one scenario.

What if I am behind?

A larger monthly contribution, a longer time horizon, or a lower target can all reduce the gap. Seeing the size of the gap early is useful because it gives you more choices.

Should I include employer matching?

Yes, if you want a fuller estimate. Add any reliable employer contribution to the monthly deposit figure or adjust your yearly savings assumptions accordingly.
