What is a Retirement Calculator?
Plan Your Future
A retirement calculator is a powerful tool designed to help you estimate how long your retirement savings will last based on your current age, retirement age, and total savings.
With Standard Inputs, you can adjust key basics like age, savings, and drawdown rate to get a quick snapshot of your retirement outlook.
Switch to Advanced Inputs to refine your plan further — including income escalations, monthly contributions, inflation, and return assumptions — for a personalised and precise projection.
The calculator provides a clear view of your financial future.
