This is a planning model, not investment advice. Spending and target-portfolio inputs are treated as today’s dollars; the planner inflates the retirement target and also shows the real-return framing.

What makes this page useful

  • It answers the “when can I ease off?” question rather than just spitting out one future balance.
  • It shows both a coast number today and a nominal retirement target so inflation does not disappear from view.
  • It includes fee drag and a sensitivity table, which matters because tiny return changes move the answer a lot.
  • It supports either retirement spending mode or a direct target-portfolio mode.

Sensitivity table

Changing long-run returns by even one point can move the coast date by years. This table keeps that uncertainty visible.
