How to use this calculator
How the retirement calculator works
This page is structured around four common retirement planning questions. Instead of sending you to separate result pages after a calculate button, it keeps each scenario in a mode-based layout with results, charts, and schedules updating together.
- Use Need to Retire to estimate the nest egg required at retirement and compare it with your current savings path.
- Use Save for Retirement to solve how much you may need to contribute each year or month to reach a chosen target.
- Use Withdraw After Retirement to estimate a sustainable retirement income stream based on your projected savings at retirement.
- Use Money Last to test how long a balance may support a chosen monthly withdrawal.

FAQ
Common Retirement questions
Why does this retirement calculator use tabs instead of a separate calculate results page?
The reference design uses a more traditional submit-and-jump flow. On Calculator Tool, the same planning modes are preserved, but the page updates in place so comparisons are faster and easier to read.
What is the difference between the four retirement modes?
Each mode answers a different planning question: the savings you may need, the savings rate required, the withdrawal amount supported, or the longevity of an existing balance.
Why are inflation and investment return both included in some retirement modes?
Investment return affects how fast savings grow, while inflation affects how much income and spending power you may need later. Looking at both gives a more realistic long-term view.
