Frequently asked questions

How much monthly income can a 401(k) provide?

It depends on balance, withdrawal amount, return, time horizon, taxes, fees, and market performance. This calculator displays the withdrawal amount you choose.

Does this show my after-tax paycheck?

No. Taxes, withholding, account type, and other income can change what reaches your bank account.

What if I need income for longer?

Use a longer horizon and more conservative assumptions, then review spending flexibility and other guaranteed income sources.
