Using the 4% withdrawal rule, we calculate exactly how much monthly income your wealth will generate.

Why This Matters

Having specific milestone dates transforms vague goals into concrete targets.

The Compound Interest Superpower

Starting young is like having a cheat code for wealth building. Every year you wait costs exponentially more money.

The Cost of Waiting

We calculate two critical numbers:

• 1-Year Delay Cost: How much extra you'd need to save monthly if you wait just one more year
• 5-Year Delay Cost: The massive price tag of waiting

Real Example

A 25-year-old saving $500/month at 8% returns will have $1.4 million at 65. A 30-year-old needs to save $775/month to reach the same goal.

Your Growing Income Advantage

We assume your income grows 5% annually, so your 401(k) contributions automatically increase with your income.

Emergency Fund Priority Check

Before showing you aggressive investing strategies, we check if you have your emergency fund. Without 3-6 months of expenses saved, you might be forced to sell investments at a loss.

IRS Contribution Limits

• 401(k) Limit (2025): $23,500/year ($1,958/month)
• IRA Limit (2025): $7,000/year ($583/month)

Employer Match Calculator

If your employer matches 401(k) contributions, we calculate exactly how much free money you're getting.
