🧮 Calculation logic & example
Future salary = CurrentSalary × (1+growth)n · Contribution = salary × contribRate · Compound growth (annual) applied to savings + contributions.
Inflation-adjusted = FutureValue / (1+inflation)n. Monthly retirement income = inflation-adjusted fund × 0.04 /12 (4% rule).
Example: 40yo, 65 retire, $85k, 3% growth, 10% contrib, 7% return, 2.5% inflation → future fund ~$2.8M, inflation adj. $1.4M → ~$4,800/mo (today's $).
How retirement planning based on current salary works
Your retirement readiness depends on salary growth, contribution rate, and investment return. Using your current salary as baseline, we project future earnings and contributions, then compound them until retirement. Inflation reduces purchasing power — we show both nominal and inflation-adjusted corpus. The estimated monthly income is based on the 4% safe withdrawal rule.
Key drivers: the contribution rate (as % of salary) ensures savings rise with your income. Starting earlier dramatically increases compounding. A 1% higher return over 25 years can boost final corpus by 20% or more. Always consider risk tolerance and adjust return assumptions conservatively.
This tool helps you visualize the impact of saving more, retiring later, or different market returns. Use it to set annual contribution goals.
This is a simplified projection. Real investments fluctuate, and taxes, fees, and withdrawals are not modeled.
