Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 4% rule?

The 4% rule suggests you can withdraw 4% of your portfolio each year in retirement with a high chance of not running out. It is a rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

How much do I need to retire?

A common target is 25× your annual expenses (based on 4% withdrawal). This calculator helps you see how long until you reach that target.
