How this calculation works

This tool uses age; retirement age; savings; contributions; returns pre/post; inflation; retirement spending/income. It returns projected balance; target need; gap/surplus; sustainable years. Headline results, charts, schedules, comparisons and exports are generated from the same normalized calculation state.

Worked example

Assumptions

Unless the tool says otherwise, rates are annual percentages, currency inputs are denominations rather than automatic FX conversions, and projections are mathematical models rather than guarantees. Typed values remain authoritative even outside normal slider ranges.

Limitations

Results depend on the assumptions supplied. Real-world taxes, fees, rates, timing and provider rules can differ from simplified modeled inputs.
