  • Run multiple scenarios — try different values to understand the range of outcomes.
  • Be conservative with projections — use lower return rates and higher expense estimates.
  • Review annually — your financial situation changes; recalculate regularly.
  • Use this as a starting point — then work with a financial advisor for personalized advice.
  • Account for inflation — a dollar today will be worth less in 20 years.
