Having R5 million or even R10 million saved for retirement sounds like a dream. But is it really enough to retire comfortably in South Africa?
The answer depends on how you plan—and the Retirement Calculator is the best place to start.
With just a few inputs it shows:
- Your projected monthly or annual retirement income
- How long your capital may last
- How inflation and investment returns could impact your future
It supports all major South African retirement savings types: Pension Funds, Provident Funds, Preservation Funds, Retirement Annuities and Living Annuities.
How Much Can You Draw From R5 Million?
Let’s say you retire at 60 and want R25 000 per month. With R5 million saved your money could last 20 to 25 years depending on returns and drawdown rates.
The Retirement Calculator lets you explore scenarios like:
- Drawing 4% vs 5% of your capital
- Retiring at 60 vs 65
- Living on R20 000 vs R35 000 per month
Can R10 Million Secure an Early Retirement?
With R10 million saved you can afford a more flexible lifestyle—but that doesn’t mean unlimited spending.
Without proper planning you could run out sooner than expected. The calculator shows how different strategies affect your outcome.
