There is a good one I have used myself provided by Vanguard. To access it, go to "Retirement Planning" Vanguard Group http://flagship4.vanguard.com/VGApp/hnw/content/PlanEdu/General/PEdGPPlnToolsRetirementPlnContent.jsp and then click on "Can I afford to retire?" The program will open in a new window (make sure any pop-up blocking software you are using is turned off). The program begins by asking you to provide your current annual living expenses and the number of years until you will retire. You then input your estimated Social Security benefits (a table can be accessed via a link to assist you in determining your estimated Social Security benefits if you do not know them. The Social Security Administration sends an estimate of your Social Security benefits each year that would be the most reliable). You also input your annual pension benefits and a factor for inflation. This is then followed by inputting your current savings for retirement and your estimated rate of return on your savings. You can also input any additional contribution amounts you will be making to retirement accounts before retirement. You also the option of calculating your and your spouse's life expectancies. With the above data, the program will provide you with the percentage of your retirement savings you will spend annually, the number of years your savings will last, and your estimated retirement period based on your life expectancy. I hope this free program meets with your satisfaction. Sincerely, Wonko |
