How Much Will Your Retirement Cost?

Estimating how much income you will need in retirement — and determining whether your current program of savings and investments can provide that income — is a good start to developing a retirement plan.

The Cost of Procrastination

How much do you need to save each year to provide your desired retirement income? This graph shows the amount you would have to save each year to work toward your goal, at the rate of return you entered, if you started saving today, and if you wait five years to start saving. As you can see, waiting just a few years can have a substantial impact on the amount you need to save.

The amount accumulated if you started saving today is 0.00. The amount accumulated if you save the same annual amount at the same annual return, but wait five years to start is 0.00.
