| Start saving now! Your cost of waiting is greater
than you may expect. This calculator shows how much you
must set-aside in order to build your retirement nest egg. You can
see how much more you must save each year if you delay your
planning.
You can set your Comfort Level in the red box
below. If you enter an 80% Chance, we find how much you
need to set aside to have an 80% probability of reaching your goal.
We also show your median 50-50 outcome -- half of the time your
portfolio can grow to that amount or more. It is better to plan on
the safe side -- half the time your outcome will be below the 50-50
outcome.
Portfolio returns are uncertain. Your
range of outcomes is similar to a bell curve. Below enter your
assumption about your portfolio's future annual returns, and we will
find an Efficient Portfolio that
can match your Assumed Return with the lowest risk. To learn
more, click the drop-down links in the More Info box above.
After
making an entry, clicking any other box triggers the calculation.
