The amount of money you need to retire depends on numerous factors that include your desired retirement age, your projected lifestyle throughout your retirement years, your life expectancy, and economic inflation. In your free financial plan, Savology calculates how much money you need to retire comfortably and makes recommendations on what you can do to reach your retirement goals.
Savology calculates your retirement income using a retirement income replacement percentage. This calculation is more complicated to perform but it is generally more accurate and understandable because it accounts for your income, investment return, inflation, and social security all in one number.
The rule of thumb is to replace 80% of your current household income to maintain your current lifestyle and a similar standard of living. This is primarily because you will likely be paying less in taxes during your retired years.
Savology uses a conservative approach when calculating your retirement. This allows us to produce accurate and understandable retirement projections without having you create your own assumptions.
The calculations begin with a few key assumptions. Some of the key assumptions that we use are:
- Retirement Assets: 6% annual rate of return
- Other Assets: 3% annual rate of return
- Inflation: 2% annually
- Asset Growth After Retirement: 4% annual rate of return
Your plan allows you to change and update these core assumptions at any point in time to better reflect your own unique situation.
