Retirement Calculator — A Long-Horizon Estimate, Honestly Ranged

A long-horizon estimate — move the sliders and watch the range shift.

Your numbers stay in your browser until you ask the advisor.

≈ Projected pot at retirement

≈ $233,468

Time is doing real work here — about 63% of the projected pot is growth, not contributions.

≈ Monthly income for 25 yr $778

You will have contributed $87,000

≈ In today's purchasing power $111,304

Estimates based on the assumptions above — real offers will differ.

Growth range: conservative to optimistic returns

Optimistic path (7% real)Conservative path (3% real)

How to Read Your Result

Four things worth understanding before you treat this number as a plan.

The shaded range is the honest part The chart always shows a band between a 3% and a 7% real return. Over decades, that spread compounds into a very wide range of outcomes — treat the whole band as the answer, not just the middle line.

The ≈ symbol is deliberate Every figure here carries an "approximately". No one can know the real return, inflation, or your circumstances thirty years out — this is a planning estimate, not a prediction.

Contributions usually outweigh the rate The stat tile breaks out how much of the projected pot is your own contributions versus growth. Early on, contributions dominate — the rate matters more the longer the horizon.

Today's purchasing power is the real number A large figure decades from now buys less than the same figure today. The inflation-adjusted stat gives you what that pot is actually worth in today's terms.

What This Tool Does and Doesn't Do

The maths is a standard compound-growth projection run three times — at your chosen rate, and at 3% and 7% — and it runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere unless you press "Explain my numbers", and even then only the figures go, never your name or contact details.

What it can't do is predict markets, tax treatment, or your actual retirement income needs, which vary enormously by country and personal circumstance. Long horizons magnify small assumptions — treat this as a directional estimate that tells you which levers matter, not a number to plan your life around.

Important: This is educational information, not financial advice. Confirm the figures with a qualified adviser before you commit to anything.
