About

Enter your current age, income, savings rate, and assumed return. The calculator solves for the date your portfolio crosses $1M. Try changing the savings rate by 5% to see how much sooner you'd get there. Usually shocking.

How to use

  1. Enter age, current savings, annual income, and the percent of income you save.
  2. Pick an expected real annual return (7% is a common assumption).
  3. See the age and date you cross $1M, plus how it shifts with a higher savings rate.

FAQ

Is this in today's dollars or future dollars?+

It depends on the return rate you pick. Use a real (inflation-adjusted) return like 7% for today's dollars. Use a nominal return like 10% for future dollars (which buy less).

What if my savings rate changes over time?+

Use an average. If you save 10% now and expect to save 25% later, somewhere in between is reasonable. Real life is rarely linear, but the rough date is still useful.
