Planning Your Retirement

A common guideline is the 4% rule: you can safely withdraw 4% of your retirement savings each year without running out of money over a 30-year retirement. For example, $1.5 million in savings could provide about $60,000 per year ($5,000/month).

Salary multiples provide useful benchmarks: aim for 1× your salary saved by 30, 3× by 40, 6× by 50, 8× by 60, and 10× by 67. These targets account for typical Social Security benefits supplementing your savings.

Remember that inflation erodes purchasing power. A dollar today buys more than a dollar 30 years from now, so plan your retirement number in future dollars or adjust for expected inflation.
