🎲 Monte Carlo Success Rate

Runs randomized-return simulations across your full timeline instead of one fixed average return, and reports how often your money lasted through your life expectancy.

How to use every option

  1. About You — enter your current age, target retirement age, and life expectancy. A catch-up contribution note appears automatically once you're near or past 50.
  2. Income & Savings — enter current income, current retirement balance, monthly contribution, and how much that contribution grows each year (e.g. with raises). Add employer match percentage and its salary cap, and split contributions between Roth (after-tax) and pre-tax.
  3. Growth & Inflation — set expected annual returns before and during retirement, inflation, and return volatility (used only by the Monte Carlo simulator). Toggle whether results also show inflation-adjusted ("today's dollars") figures.
  4. Retirement Income Goal — choose "% of current income" (a common rule of thumb is 70-90%) or type a custom monthly spending target. Set your safe withdrawal rate (4% is the traditional default) and any Social Security, pension, or other guaranteed monthly income.
  5. Calculate — see your projected nest egg, required nest egg, surplus/shortfall, a readiness gauge, the balance chart across accumulation and drawdown, and a 5-year milestone table.
  6. FIRE numbers — Lean/Regular/Fat FIRE targets using the 25× rule, plus your Coast FIRE number and whether your current savings already clear it.
  7. RMD estimate — a rough required-minimum-distribution figure for your pre-tax balance around age 73.
  8. Monte Carlo — run randomized-return simulations to see the percentage of outcomes where your money lasts through your life expectancy, instead of relying on one fixed average return.
  9. What-If sliders — instantly preview how changing monthly contribution or retirement age would affect your projected nest egg, without altering your saved inputs.
  10. Drawdown table — expand a year-by-year view of your balance depleting (or growing) through retirement.
  11. Scenarios — save up to three named "what-if" plans and compare them side by side in one table.
  12. Report — copy a plain-text summary, download the milestone table as CSV, or print a clean report.
  13. History — every calculation is saved to this device only; clear it anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions

It compounds your current savings and monthly contributions (plus employer match, increasing with an annual raise you set) at your expected pre-retirement return, month by month, until your retirement age.

The safe withdrawal rate (default 4%) estimates how much you can withdraw annually without running out of money. Your income gap is divided by this rate to find your required nest egg.

They're savings targets based on the 25× rule (annual spending × 25). Lean FIRE assumes reduced spending, Regular FIRE uses your entered spending, and Fat FIRE assumes 50% higher spending.

The amount you'd need saved today so that, with zero further contributions, market growth alone carries it to your required nest egg by retirement age.

It runs many simulated retirements using randomized yearly returns (based on your average return and volatility) and reports the percentage where your money lasted through your life expectancy.

US tax-deferred retirement accounts generally require minimum withdrawals starting around age 73. This is a rough estimate using a simplified IRS factor — confirm exact figures with current IRS tables or a tax professional.
