Formula:

This calculator helps you estimate a sustainable annual or monthly withdrawal amount from your retirement savings. It uses a financial annuity formula, adjusted to solve for the regular payment (withdrawal) given an initial lump sum (your savings), an interest rate (your investment return), and a number of periods (your retirement duration).

Formula Basis (for Annual Withdrawal, A):
A = (PV * r) / (1 - (1 + r)-n)
Where:

  • PV: Initial Retirement Savings (Present Value)
  • r: Annual Investment Return (as a decimal)
  • n: Retirement Duration (in years)
If the 'Desired Withdrawal Frequency' is set to 'Monthly', the formula adapts by converting the annual return to a monthly rate and the duration from years to months to calculate a monthly withdrawal amount.

Note: If the Annual Investment Return is 0%, the formula simplifies to: Annual Withdrawal = Initial Savings / Retirement Duration.
