Use this Kaiser pension tool to estimate your future retirement benefits based on your personal information.
How the Kaiser Pension Calculator Works
The Kaiser Pension Calculator helps you estimate the future value of your retirement savings based on a few key assumptions.
Steps to Use the Calculator:
- Enter your current age in the “Starting Age” field.
- Enter the age at which you plan to retire in the “Retirement Age” field.
- Enter the amount you currently have saved for retirement in the “Current Savings” field.
- Enter how much you plan to contribute to your retirement savings each month in the “Monthly Contribution” field.
- Enter the estimated annual return rate as a percentage in the “Annual Return Rate” field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the estimated amount you will have saved by the time you retire.
Calculation Explanation
The calculator uses the following formula to estimate your retirement savings:
Future Value = Current Savings * (1 + (Annual Return Rate / 100)) ^ Number of Years + (Monthly Contribution * 12 * [((1 + (Annual Return Rate / 100)) ^ Number of Years - 1) / (Annual Return Rate / 100)])
Where “Number of Years” is the difference between your retirement age and your starting age.
Limitations
This calculator makes several assumptions such as constant annual return rate and does not account for taxes, fees, or changes in contribution amounts. For more accurate retirement planning, please consult with a financial advisor.
