Retirement Calculators

Saving for Retirement

This pre-retirement calculator is designed help you assess how well you have prepared and what you can do to potentially improve your retirement outlook. You also should consider re-evaluating your preparedness on an ongoing basis. Changes in economic climate, financial markets, and your personal situation may impact your strategy.

Roth 401(k) v. Traditional 401(k)

Your retirement income can vary widely depending on what type of account holds your savings and what assumptions are made about overall returns and tax rates during the accumulation and withdrawal periods. Use this calculator to help compare employee contributions to the new after-tax Roth 401(k) and the current tax-deductible 401(k).

Annuity Comparison

Deposits into an annuity are not tax-deductible; however, you may not have to pay taxes on the interest earned until you begin making withdrawals. This tax-deferral period can have a dramatic effect on the growth of an investment. Use this calculator to compare the potential tax advantages of saving in an annuity versus an account where the interest is taxed each year.

A Look at Systematic Withdrawals

You have worked hard to accumulate your savings. Use this calculator to determine how long those funds may potentially last given regular withdrawals.

Inflation & Retirement

It may surprise you how fast inflation can erode purchasing power. This calculator is designed to help you estimate how much more income you may need at retirement to keep your same standard of living that you have today.

Estimate Your RMD

​Under the SECURE Act, your required minimum distribution (RMD) must be distributed by the end of the 10th calendar year following the year of the Individual Retirement Account (IRA) owner's death. Penalties may occur for missed RMDs. Any RMDs due for the original owner must be taken by their deadlines to avoid penalties. A surviving spouse of the IRA owner, disabled or chronically ill individuals, individuals who are not more than 10 years younger than the IRA owner, and child of the IRA owner who has not reached the age of majority may have other minimum distribution requirements.

My Retirement Savings

Due to increasing life expectancies, many are concerned they may outlive their retirement savings. Use this calculator to help determine when your retirement savings account may be depleted given a specified monthly income target. Remember, you currently may be in receipt of a company pension or Social Security that may help supplement your retirement savings accounts.

Potential Income from an IRA

Your IRA may play a key role in your retirement. And the amount of retirement income your IRA can generate may vary widely depending on what assumptions you make about return and tax rates during the accumulation and withdrawal periods. Use this calculator to help estimate your monthly and annual income from various IRA types.

Self-Employed Retirement Plans

Compensation for a self-employed individual (sole proprietor or partner) is that person's "earned income."* The starting point to determine the individual's earned income is the net profit amount from the Schedule C (or Schedule K-1 for a partnership). Use this calculator as a starting point to assess your potential maximum contribution amount for a Self-Employed 401(k), a SIMPLE IRA, or an SEP.
