Retirement income
Retirement Income Snapshot
Compare the annual retirement spending you enter with the recurring retirement income you choose to include.
This is a simple educational illustration based on your inputs. It does not determine whether you are ready for retirement or whether your savings are sufficient.
Annual Retirement Spending
Enter the annual retirement spending amount you want this illustration to compare. This is your assumption, not a spending level suggested by this tool.
Recurring Retirement Income
Only the amounts you enter here are counted. Nothing is included automatically, and this tool does not estimate any of them for you.
Enter an annual estimate you want included. If you have a monthly figure, multiply by 12 — for example, $2,000/month = $24,000/year.
Annual pension income you want included in this illustration.
One combined annual amount for any other recurring retirement income you want included.
Enter your annual retirement spending and the recurring income you want to include. The snapshot updates as you type.
How to Interpret This
This snapshot compares only the annual spending and recurring income entered above.
A difference below the spending entered does not determine how much additional savings or investment assets a household would need.
A difference above the spending entered does not mean a household is fully prepared for retirement.
Accumulated assets, withdrawals, investment returns, inflation, taxes, and longevity can materially change the broader picture — and those questions are better explored in a fuller review with appropriately licensed professionals.

Want to Look at the Bigger Picture?
Recurring income is only one part of retirement planning. A broader, advisor-guided review can put it in context alongside savings, protection, and cash flow.
Educational and illustrative only. This is not individualized financial, investment, tax, or legal advice, and it does not determine retirement readiness, a savings target, or how much income any household will need. Individual circumstances vary.
