Suggested questions:
The Trinity Study showed that withdrawing 4% of your portfolio in year one, then adjusting that dollar amount for inflation each year, had a high success rate over 30-year retirements. We project your balance year by year: start balance minus withdrawal, plus growth. The portfolio is depleted when balance reaches zero.
Lower withdrawal rates (3–3.5%) improve safety for longer horizons. This calculator uses deterministic projections; actual returns vary, so treat results as planning estimates.
Data and assumptions align with official publications. For verification and current figures:
The 4% rule (Trinity Study) suggests withdrawing 4% of your portfolio in year one, then adjusting that dollar amount for inflation each year. Historically this had a high success rate over 30 years. Many use 3–3.5% for longer retirements or more caution.
It depends on your withdrawal rate, investment return, and inflation. At 4% initial withdrawal with 6% return and 2.5% inflation, a $1M portfolio often lasts 30+ years. Use the calculator to see a year-by-year projection for your assumptions.
The 4% rule uses a percentage of initial balance, inflated each year—predictable and historically sustainable. A fixed dollar amount is simpler but may deplete the portfolio sooner if returns are low. The calculator supports both.
It depends on withdrawal rate, investment return, and inflation. At 4% initial withdrawal with 6% return and 2.5% inflation, $1M often lasts 30+ years. At 5% withdrawal, the risk of depletion rises. Use the calculator with your balance, desired income, and assumptions for a year-by-year projection.
