How it Works
The Retirement Savings Calculator uses a formula to calculate the total amount saved and monthly income in retirement. The formula is based on the concept of compound interest, where the total amount saved is calculated by adding the current savings to the monthly savings amount, multiplied by the number of years until retirement, and then multiplied by the expected rate of return on investment.
| Current Age | Desired Retirement Age | Current Savings | Monthly Savings Amount | Expected Rate of Return | Total Amount Saved | Monthly Income in Retirement |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | 65 | $10,000 | $500 | 5% | $1,193,479 | $4,973 |
| 35 | 65 | $20,000 | $750 | 6% | $1,531,119 | $6,371 |
