How this calculator works
You already picked a retirement age. This counts the years and months from today, then shows whether your current savings rate is on track for the nest egg that age implies. Years left = target age − current age. Compare future value of savings at that date with nest egg = spend ÷ withdrawal rate. Example: Age 46 aiming at 62, $190,000 saved, $700/mo, $40,000/year at 4% → 16 years left; the gap tells you if $700 is enough.
