FAQ

Questions.

Can't find an answer? Send us your question.

How accurate is the retirement savings projection?

The calculator uses compound interest formulas with the return rate and contribution frequency you enter. It assumes consistent contributions and average market performance. Real-world returns vary—consult a financial advisor for personalized analysis.

What return rate should I use?

A conservative default of 6% is pre-filled. Adjust based on your portfolio mix, risk tolerance, and current market outlook. Historical average returns for diversified portfolios range from 5–7%, but past performance is not a guarantee.

Can I change currencies?

Yes. Choose from common currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, INR). The projection uses the currency format for display only.

How often should I revisit my plan?

Revisit at least twice a year or whenever your circumstances change—salary adjustments, family changes, or market shifts.

Does this calculator include inflation?

It projects nominal balances. For inflation-adjusted goals, consider reducing the expected return by your assumed inflation rate or target a higher savings amount.

Can I share the countdown?

Absolutely. Use the Share button to copy a summary with your plan name, retirement date, and savings progress.
