How to use the calculator


Total Retirement Savings includes your Provident, Pension, Preservation Funds, Retirement Annuities and Living Annuities to estimate your sustainable retirement income.

Above the graph are Income, Capital and Sustainability. Below is an income slider.

Income is your projected retirement income. Capital shows your remaining savings. Sustainability shows how long your income lasts and the age it peaks.

There are two ways to customise your plan: Standard Inputs and Advanced Inputs.

Standard Inputs let you set your current age, retirement age, total savings and income.

Advanced Inputs let you choose your birthday and retirement month, add contributions until retirement and set income increases every 1, 2 or 3 years to help maintain capital.

Under Modelled Returns, you can adjust inflation (first) and returns (last); the middle value is fixed. Return options (Aggressive, Moderate and Conservative) are for illustration only.

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.
