FAQ
How much do I need to retire?
A common rule of thumb is to save 25 times your expected annual retirement spending. At a 4 percent withdrawal rate this portfolio should last 30 years.
What investment return should I assume?
A 5 to 7 percent real return is commonly used for a balanced portfolio after inflation. Conservative projections use 4 percent and optimistic ones use 8 percent.
How much should I be contributing to retirement?
Financial advisors commonly recommend saving 10 to 15 percent of gross income for retirement, including any employer matching contributions.
