Inputs explained
Annual expenses
Your total spending for a year, across all categories. Supported range: 0 to 100,000,000.
Safe withdrawal rate
The share of the corpus you would draw each year in retirement. Supported range: 0 to 10.
Why it matters: A lower rate needs a much larger corpus; this is the single biggest lever on the target.
Current investments
The value of your existing investments today. Supported range: 0 to 100,000,000.
Expected annual return
The average yearly return you want to assume, before tax and fees. Supported range: 0 to 30.
Why it matters: This is an assumption, not a promise — small changes compound into large differences over long periods.
Model a range rather than one figure, and check what a lower return does to the answer.
