MSN Retirement Calculator 

The MSN Retirement calculator is the simplest and most graphic calculator.  All the data input and the results are shown on the one page.  This calculator is for an individual.  It should not be used for a couple since the social security estimate will be wrong.

This calculator allows you to enter projected income from a retirement job (Other retirement income).  However, it does not allow you to input when you project that income to stop.  This will possibly  overstate your income depending on when you stop working at your retirement job.

This calculator estimates inflation at three percent.  This may be low for today's conditions.  Also, medical costs are inflating faster than the standard inflation rate.  Read the Inflation page on this website for more information.

For help with how much you will need for living expenses, read the Retirement Living Expenses page of this website.

Do not use this calculator for any serious retirement calculations.  See my recommendations for the best retirement calculators.

Here is a picture of the MSN Calculator.

You can enter the input data and watch the graph to see what impact your input has on the results.  In this picture, you can see that the money runs out at 79 when the life expectancy is 85.  Not good!

Access the MSN Retirement Calculator on the MSN website.
