Calculating Your Finances, Part 2: Retirement

Courtesy of Doug Short

In Calculating Your Finances, Part 1 I shared links to the excellent online calculators from the Financial Mentor website of Todd R. Tresidder, an expert who teaches personal finance and investing based on real experience.

Here is another collection of Todd’s outstanding calculators. These are focused on what is probably the most important financial topic of our lives — planning for retirement.

  • Ultimate Retirement Calculator
    It’s called the ultimate retirement calculator because it does everything the others do and a whole lot more. It reflects modern retirement planning where people supplement savings with consulting, part-time income, business income, or real estate income. In fact, you can supplement your retirement savings with up to 3 additional income streams plus a one-time lump sum benefit such as selling a home. This allows for sophisticated scenario analysis other retirement calculators can’t do.
  • Retirement Withdrawal Calculator
    How much can I afford to withdraw each month given the retirement savings I have accumulated – both before and after inflation?
  • Retirement Savings Goal Calculator V1
    How long will it take me to reach my desired retirement savings goal given my current savings balance and my monthly deposits?
  • Retirement Savings Goal Calculator V2
    How much must I save each month to reach my desired retirement savings goal given my current savings balance and expected retirement date?
  • Monthly Savings Growth Calculator
    If I deposit a certain amount in retirement savings each month what will it grow to at any future point in time? This calculator is handy for estimating what your monthly 401(k) deposits can be expected to grow to.
  • Retire A Millionaire Calculator
    So you wanna be a millionaire? This fun calculator will tell you when it will happen and what a million dollars will be worth by then after adjusting for inflation.
  • How To Save Money For Retirement
    If you have problems saving for retirement then this calculator will show you an easy way.
  • Spend Now Versus Save For Retirement Calculator
    How much will spending money today cost me in terms of retirement savings in the future?
  • IRA Rollover Calculator
    What is the financial cost of taking a distribution from my 401(k) or IRA versus rolling it over into another tax deferred account?
  • Inflation Calculator
    How much purchasing power has my money lost between any two points in history? Understanding the erosive effects of inflation on the purchasing power of your retirement savings is essential to proper retirement planning. You will be shocked by the results!
