FAQ

Frequently asked

Is the 4% rule reliable?

It's a historical guideline based on 30-year U.S. retirement horizons. Longer horizons or lower expected returns may warrant 3.3–3.5%.

Should I include Social Security?

This tool doesn't. Subtract expected Social Security income from your annual spending need to size the portfolio you truly need.
