Common Questions & Guidance
Frequently asked questions regarding Retirement Calculator.
What is the 4% rule?
The 4% rule is a guideline stating that retirees can safely withdraw 4% of their total portfolio value during the first year of retirement, and adjust that amount for inflation each year, without running out of money for at least 30 years.
How does inflation impact retirement savings?
Inflation reduces the purchasing power of your money. A million dollars today will buy significantly more than a million dollars in 30 years. When modeling retirement, consider using a conservative return rate (e.g. 5-6% instead of 8%) to account for inflation.
