Retirement Calculator

What is Retirement?

Retirement is when you stop working because you've saved enough money to live without needing to work anymore. People usually plan to retire when they get older, and they save money for many years to make sure they have enough to live comfortably when they stop working.

What is a Retirement Calculator?

The Retirement Calculator helps you estimate how much money you will have saved by the time you retire. It shows you how much your savings will grow over time based on how much you save each month and how much interest you earn on your money.

How Retirement Calculator Works

To use the Retirement Calculator, you need to enter three things:

• Monthly Contribution: This is how much money you plan to save every month.
• Annual Return Rate: This is the percentage of interest you expect to earn on your savings every year.
• Years to Invest: This is how many years you plan to save and invest before you retire.

Once you enter these details, the calculator will show you how much your savings will grow over time. It does this by using a simple formula to calculate the future value of your monthly savings, taking into account the interest you will earn.

How the Retirement Calculator Works

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate your savings:

• Future Value = Monthly Contribution × ((1 + Monthly Interest Rate) ^ (Number of Months) - 1) / Monthly Interest Rate

It calculates how your monthly savings will grow each month and adds up all the growth over the years. The more you save each month, the more you'll have when you retire!
