Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I save for retirement?

Aim to save 10-15% of your income for retirement, including employer contributions. The exact amount depends on your age, desired retirement lifestyle, and expected retirement age.

The 4% rule suggests you can safely withdraw 4% of your retirement savings annually without running out of money. This is a general guideline for retirement planning.

When should I start saving for retirement?

Start saving for retirement as early as possible. Even small amounts saved in your 20s can grow significantly due to compound interest over decades.

Consider 401(k)s, IRAs, Roth IRAs, and other tax-advantaged accounts. Each has different benefits and contribution limits based on your situation.
