How much money do you need to retire comfortably in the US?

Most Americans need between $1 million and $3 million to retire comfortably, depending on lifestyle, location, healthcare costs, and retirement age. The exact amount varies based on individual financial goals and expected expenses.

What is the 4% rule in retirement planning?

The 4% rule suggests retirees can withdraw 4% of their retirement savings annually with a high probability of their money lasting 30 years. For example, if you need $100,000 per year, you may need $2.5 million in savings.

Is $2 million enough to retire in the US?

$2 million may be enough for many retirees, especially if Social Security benefits and other income sources are included. However, required savings depend on annual expenses, inflation, healthcare costs, and investment returns.

How much should I save each month for retirement?

The amount you should save monthly depends on your retirement goal, age, and expected investment return. For example, to accumulate $2 million in 25 years at a 7% annual return, you may need to invest around $2,500 to $3,000 per month.

Does Social Security reduce how much I need to save?

Yes, Social Security benefits can reduce the amount of savings required. If Social Security covers part of your annual expenses, your retirement portfolio only needs to generate the remaining income.
