How much do I need to retire? Here are your assumptions. You are 30. You will retire when you are 65. You want $40,000 a year when you retire. You will be an aggressive investor today and have an average market return of 9%. When you retire, you will be conservative in your investing and get into bonds that have a market return of 4.5%. You expect that inflation will be 3%. You currently have $20,000 you put into the market this morning. You are expecting to live until 85. How much do you need to have saved when you turn 65? (Hint: if you want to work out how much you need to save every year, under PMT, it will be 36 years)

    The amount to be saved at the age of 65 is $1940755.74

    Explanation:

    To calculate the amount needed at 65 including inflation = 40000 * 1.0336 = 115931.13

    Present Value of Growing Annuity = PMT / (r-g) [ 1 - { (1+g) / (1+r) }n ]

    = 115931.13 / (0.045 - 0.03) [ 1 - (1.03/1.045) 20 ]

    = 7728742.2 * 0.2511089

    = 1940755.74
