Enter your information in the fields and click on Calculate to see your results.
Definitions
- Current retirement plan balance
- The current tax-deferred amount you have in your retirement plan.
- Hypothetical annual rate of return
- The expected annual return on your investments. Since 1926, the average annual total return for the S&P 500, an unmanaged index of large U.S. stocks, has been about 10%. Investments that offer the potential for higher rates of return also come with a higher degree of risk. If you plan on withdrawing your money within a short period of time, such as five years, you may want to choose a more conservative rate of return. This calculator assumes that your return is compounded annually and there are no new contributions to this account. Hypothetical rates of return are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to portray actual results. Actual rates of return will vary over time. Past results are not predictive of results in future periods.
- Current age
- Your current age.
- Age at retirement
- The age at which you plan to retire.
- Federal income tax rate
-
The marginal federal tax rate you expect to pay on any additional earnings or taxable distributions. Use the table below to estimate your current tax rate.
