How much do you need to save for retirement? It's one of the most common questions people have. And no wonder. There are so many imponderables: When will you retire? How much will you spend in retirement? And for how long?

That's why we did extensive analysis to come up with age-based retirement savings factors that can help you plan—in spite of those uncertainties. These milestones are aspirational. You likely won't meet all of them. But they can serve as goalposts to help you make a plan to save enough to maintain your lifestyle in retirement.

Our savings factors are based on the assumption that a person saves 15% of their income annually beginning at age 25 (which includes any employer match), invests more than 50% on average of their savings in stocks over their lifetime, retires at age 67, and plans to maintain their preretirement lifestyle in retirement (see footnote 1 for more details).

Based on those assumptions, we estimate that saving 10x (times) your preretirement income by age 67, together with other steps, should help ensure that you have enough income to maintain your current lifestyle in retirement. That 10x goal may seem ambitious. But you have many years to get there. To help you stay on track, we suggest these age-based milestones: Aim to save at least 1x your income by age 30, 3x by 40, 6x by 50, and 8x by 60. Your personal savings goal may be different based on various factors including 2 key ones described below. But these guidelines can provide a starting point to help your build your savings plan, and assess your progress. 2,3

1. When you plan to retire

The age you plan to retire can have a big impact on the amount you need to save, and your milestones along the way. The longer you can postpone retirement, the lower your savings factor can be. That's because delaying gives your savings a longer time to grow, you'll have fewer years in retirement, and your Social Security benefit will be higher.

Consider some hypothetical examples (see graphic). Max plans to delay retirement until age 70, so he will need to have saved 8x his final income to sustain his preretirement lifestyle. Amy wants to retire at age 67, so she will need to have saved 10x her preretirement income. John plans to retire at age 65, so he would need to have saved at least 12x his preretirement income.

Of course, you can't always choose when you retire—health and job availability may be out of your control. But one thing is clear: Working longer will make it easier to reach your savings goals.

See footnote at the end of the article for more information.

2. How you want to live in retirement

In other words, do you expect your expenses to go down when you retire? We call that a below average lifestyle. Or will you spend as much as you do now? That's average. If you expect your expenses will be more than they are now, that's above average.

Let's look at some hypothetical investors who are planning to retire at 67. Joe is planning to downsize and live frugally in retirement, so he expects his expenses to be lower. His savings factor might be closer to 8x than 10x. Elizabeth is planning to retire at age 67 and her goal is to maintain her lifestyle in retirement, so her savings factor is 10x. Sean sees retirement as an opportunity to travel extensively, so it may make sense for him to save more and plan for a higher level of retirement spending. His savings factor is 12x at age 67.

Take stock

Our simple widget lets you see the impact of these 2 variables—when you plan to retire and what kind of lifestyle you want to live in retirement—on how much you need to have saved when you do retire, and on all the intermediate milestones.

What if you're behind? If you're under age 40, the simple answer is to save more and invest for growth through a diversified investment mix. Of course, stocks come with more ups and downs than bonds or cash, so you need to be comfortable with those risks. If you're over 40, the answer may be a combination of increased savings, reduced spending, and working longer, if possible.

No matter what your age, focus on the goals ahead. Don't be discouraged if you aren't at your nearest milestone—there are ways to catch up to future milestones through planning and saving. The key is to take action, and the earlier the better.

A key part of retirement planning is to answer the question: How much do I need to save to retire? The answer varies by individual, and it depends largely on your income now and the lifestyle you want and can afford in retirement.

Knowing how much you need to save based on how old you are now is just the first step, but it starts you on the path to help you reach your retirement goals. There are a few simple formulas that you can use to come up with the numbers.

Key Takeaways

  • How much you need to save for retirement depends on your current income and the lifestyle you want when you retire.
  • Knowing how much you need to save “by age” can help you stay on track and reach your retirement goals.
  • There are a few simple formulas that you can use to come up with the numbers.

How Much Do I Need to Save to Retire?

Many retirement experts recommend strategies such as saving 10 times your pre-retirement salary and planning on living on 80% of your pre-retirement annual income.

That means if you make $100,000 annually at retirement, you need at least $80,000 per year to have a comfortable lifestyle after leaving the workforce.

This amount can be adjusted up or down depending on additional sources of income, such as Social Security, pensions, and part-time employment, as well as factors like your health and desired lifestyle.

Order your copy of the print edition of Investopedia's Retirement Guide for more assistance in building the best plan for your retirement.

The 4% Rule

To determine just how much you will need to save to generate the income that you need, one easy-to-use formula is to divide your desired annual retirement income by 4%, which is known as the 4% rule.

For an income of $80,000, you would need a retirement nest egg of about $2 million ($80,000 /0. 04). This strategy assumes a 5% return on investments, after taxes and inflation, no additional retirement income, such as Social Security, and a lifestyle similar to the one you would be living at the time you retire.

In general, the 4% rule assumes that you will live for 30 years in retirement. Retired adults who live longer need their portfolios to last longer, and medical costs and other expenses can increase as you age.

Retirement Savings by Age

Knowing how much you should save toward retirement at each stage of your life helps you answer that all-important question: “How much do I need to retire?” Here are a few useful formulas that can help you set age-based savings goals on the road to retirement.

Percentage of Your Salary

To figure out how much you need to accumulate at various stages of your life, it can be useful to think in terms of saving a percentage of your salary.

Fidelity Investments suggests saving 15% of your gross salary starting in your 20s and continuing throughout the course of your working life. This should include savings across various retirement accounts as well as any employer contributions you receive to those accounts, assuming you have access to a 401(k) or another employer-sponsored plan.

How Much to Save for Retirement by Age

Fidelity also recommends the following benchmarks—based on a multiple of your annual earnings—for how much you should have saved for retirement by the time you reach the following ages.

Target Retirement Savings by Age
 Age  Annual Salary
 30  1x annual salary
 40  3x annual salary
 50  6x annual salary
 60  8x annual salary
 67  10x annual salary
Source: Fidelity

An Alternative Formula

Another, more heuristic formula holds that you should save 25% of your gross salary each year, starting in your 20s. The 25% savings figure may sound daunting. But don't forget that it includes not only 401(k) holdings and matching contributions from your employer, but also other types of retirement savings.

If you follow this formula, it should allow you to accumulate your full annual salary by age 30. Continuing at the same average savings rate should yield the following:

  • Age 35—two times annual salary
  • Age 40—three times annual salary
  • Age 45—four times annual salary
  • Age 50—five times annual salary
  • Age 55—six times annual salary
  • Age 60—seven times annual salary
  • Age 65—eight times annual salary

Whether or not you try to follow the 15% or the 25% savings guideline, chances are your actual ability to save will be affected by life events such as the job loss many experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Retirement Savings Confidence by Age

Anxious that you aren't saving enough for retirement? You're not alone. As of 2021, there were roughly 60 million active 401(k) participants, in addition to former employees and retired adults. And while they may be active participants, people’s feelings toward retirement vary widely based on age.

According to the 2022 Investopedia Financial Literacy Study, the majority of adults expect that they will be able to retire. Among those surveyed, 57% of Generation Z and 62% of Millennials expect to retire. Nearly 66% of Generation X have such expectations.

Younger adults, ages 18 to 25, are most optimistic about retiring early—most of Generation Z believe they will retire by age 57.

Those are rosier numbers than what was found in the 2021 data from Natixis Global Retirement Index, which indicated a majority of adults expected to work longer than expected with about 40% saying it would “take a miracle” for them to retire comfortably. It is possible that data was impacted by anxieties around COVID-19 related economic instability.

In Investopedia’s study, not all adults are particularly confident in their understanding of retirement planning. Behind digital currencies and investing, retirement was the third least-understood concept. And retirement was the top personal finance concern for about one-sixth of all those surveyed.

In the early and middle years of your career, you have time to recover from any losses in your retirement accounts. That's a good time to take some of the risks that allow you to earn more with your investments.

How to Calculate Retirement Savings

In addition to using the above methods to determine what you should have saved and by what age, online calculators can be a useful tool to help you reach your retirement savings goals. For example, they can help you understand how changing savings and withdrawal rates can impact your retirement nest egg.

Although there are many online retirement savings calculators to choose from, some are much better than others. The T. Rowe Price Retirement Income Calculator and MaxiFi ESPlanner are two worth trying.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does a Couple Need to Retire?

Much like an individual, how much a couple needs to save to retire comfortably will depend on their current annual income and the lifestyle they want to live when they retire. Many experts maintain that retirement income should be about 80% of a couple’s final pre-retirement annual earnings. Fidelity Investments recommends that you should save 10 times your annual income by age 67.

What Is the 4% Rule?

The 4% rule is a guideline used to determine how much a retiree can withdraw annually from a retirement account. It is intended to make retirement savings last for 30 years.

How Much Should I Save for Retirement Each Year?

One rule of thumb is to save 15% of your annual earnings. In a perfect world, savings would begin in your 20s and last throughout your working years.

The Bottom Line

Sometimes you'll be able to save more for retirement—and sometimes less. What’s important is to get as close to your savings goal as possible and check your progress at each benchmark to make sure you're staying on track.

A 401(k) might be a good place to start—if you have access to one. If not, consider an IRA. Because the importance of saving for retirement is so great, we've made lists of brokers for Roth IRAs and IRAs so you can find the best places to create these retirement accounts.

In 2023, not a single person received the right to an old-age pension.

Diana Shigapova

lawyer

From 2024, women will be able to get a pension at 58 years old, and men at 63 years old. In 2028, the pension reform will be completed - from this year onwards, the requirements will become tougher: men will retire at 65, and women at 60, while they will need to accumulate 30 pension points and 15 years of insurance experience. But if you meet a few more conditions, you can start receiving a pension earlier.

What does early retirement mean? difficult working conditions, served under a contract, gave birth to three or more children, were fired at pre-retirement age, or raised children with disabilities.

Course: how to protect your rights at work

Conditions for granting an early pension

According to the length of service , for example, state civil servants, military personnel, citizens from among astronauts and flight test personnel can retire.

Federal civil servants are officials who have entered into a service contract with the Russian Federation through federal authorities.

Art. 10 of the law "On the system of public service of the Russian Federation"

They have a class rank, they wear a uniform, they receive a salary from the federal budget. The positions of federal civil servants are indicated in a special register.

The service pension for civil servants is not an early pension, but an additional one, in addition to the old-age pension.

Clause 1.1, Art. 7 of the Law "On State Pension Provision in the Russian Federation"

As a general rule, it cannot be obtained separately. But there is an exception. In order for federal government civil servants to be able to apply for a superannuation pension, regardless of whether there is an old-age pension, they must meet two conditions:

  1. Resign voluntarily.
  2. Work in the civil service for 25 years, at least 7 of them before leaving.

Both civil servants of the subjects of the Russian Federation and municipal employees can retire according to the length of service. The procedure for calculating the experience of municipal service is established by the regions.

Art. 25 of the law "On municipal service in the Russian Federation"

Military personnel are officers, sergeants, cadets, soldiers who serve in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation under a contract, the National Guard, the FSB and other law enforcement agencies. For them, the superannuation pension replaces the old-age pension.

Art. 2 of the law "On the status of military personnel"

To receive a military pension, you must serve at least 20 calendar years, including preferential ones.

The procedure for calculating length of service

Grace years are when length of service is counted not one to one, but, for example, a year for two. This is possible not only because of service in harsh climatic conditions, but also in certain positions. For example, in positions of the Airborne Forces, where you need to systematically jump with a parachute, a month is considered one and a half.

Astronaut citizens are:

  1. Astronaut candidates.
  2. Test astronauts.
  3. Research cosmonauts.
  4. Test cosmonaut instructors.

Early retirement is due to men who have worked for 25 years in any of these positions, and to women who have worked in them for 20 years. At the same time, men must work in a flight test unit for at least 10 years, women - at least 7.5.

Art. 7.1 of the Law "On State Pension Provision in the Russian Federation"

Experience is calculated as two months. And if an astronaut is in space, then a month of stay there is considered as five months of work.

Regulations on the provision of pensions for cosmonauts in the Russian Federation

If the cosmonauts, due to health reasons, can no longer work, then men can retire after 20 years, and women after 15.

If the cosmonaut died, his wife, children and parents of retirement age can receive a survivor's pension.

Citizens from among the employees of the flight test personnel are:

  1. Pilots who directly perform test flights on aircraft and paratroopers.
  2. Engineering and technical staff that performs flights for testing, delivery, acceptance of aircraft, their systems, units, instruments and equipment, paratroopers.
  3. Employees who inspect aircrew on test flights. As well as those who manage the flight test services and participate in test flights as a crew member.

Regulations on the procedure for assigning and paying pensions for years of service to flight test personnel

They are granted a service pension only together with an old-age pension. You won't get it before the time.

Conditions for assigning pensions to citizens from among the employees of the flight test staff

The length of service for each category of employees is calculated differently. For example, for pilots, a year is considered two if they have been conducting flight tests all this time.

But in any case, for the right to a service pension, the total length of service for men must be 25 years, for women - 20 years.

If you had to leave flight work for health reasons, then the right to a service pension will be with at least 20 years of service for men and at least 15 years for women.

By experience. You can get an old-age pension 2 years earlier if you have a long work experience: for men - 42 years, for women - 37 years. At the same time, a man must be at least 60 years old, a woman - 55 years old.

Part 1.2 Art. 8 of the Law "On Insurance Pensions"

When working in hazardous conditions (list No. 1). Men can retire at 50, women at 45 if they have worked in underground jobs, jobs with harmful working conditions and in hot shops from list No. 1.

For example, for 2023, the experience of a school teacher is 25 years. He cannot immediately apply for a pension - he will have to wait 5 years. The teacher will need to apply for a pension in 2028.

Health care workers must have worked for at least 25 years in rural areas and urban-type settlements, or at least 30 years in cities, or at least 30 years mixed - in cities, rural areas and urban-type settlements. Then they will be able to retire earlier than the generally established age.

The list of positions that are eligible for early retirement includes nurses.

Like teachers, medical workers will be able to apply for a pension not immediately after completing the required length of service, but after 5 years.

Artists of theaters or theater and entertainment organizations can also retire early in the same order as teachers and doctors - 5 years after the required work experience has been completed.

    How to retire earlier

    To retire earlier, you need to earn the length of service necessary for the profession or work. It will include periods when a person worked, was on sick leave or cared for a child, but not more than 6 years.

    Rules for calculating and confirming the insurance period

    When and where to apply

    You should apply to the Social Fund of Russia at the place of residence or to the MFC. You can apply at any time after you have accumulated the required experience.

    Required documents

    To apply for a pension, you need to submit an application for its appointment. It is necessary to attach a passport, SNILS and a work book to it.

    The SFR has all the information about the length of service, as employers annually submit a corresponding report there. If the SFR suddenly did not have information about the length of service, then they can confirm it:

    1. Employment contracts.
    2. Contracts of a civil nature.
    3. Personal accounts and payroll statements.
    4. Extracts from orders.
    5. Certificates that specify the special nature and conditions of work.
    6. Copies of personal accounts from archives.

    How to get two pensions

    All documents that confirm periods of work must have a number and date of issue. They should indicate the full name of the future pensioner, his date of birth, place of work, period of work, profession.

    Application form can be downloaded from the FIS website.

    May also need:

    1. Mothers of many children - birth certificates of children.
    2. For people with disabilities, guardians or parents of a child with a disability - certificates of disability.
    3. Citizens with dependents - birth certificates of children and their pension certificates, certificates of education and income of adult children.

    Terms of consideration and appointment

    The application will be considered within 10 business days. The pension will be assigned from the day of applying for it, but not earlier than the day when the right to a pension appeared.

    Before the date of application, a pension can be granted if the application was made within 30 days from the date of dismissal. In this case, the pension will be assigned from the day following the day of dismissal from work.

    Rights of pensioners by age

    Can early retirement be denied

    The Social Fund may refuse to pay early pension if there is not enough special experience. Or if the applicant did not submit documents confirming the length of service, and the SFR does not have information that the applicant worked in such and such a place.

    Calculation of the amount of pension payments

    The formula for calculating pension payments in the general case is as follows:

    Fixed payment + IPC × IPC cost.

    The amount of fixed payments and the number of points are different for everyone. For example, in 2023 the generally established fixed payment is 7567.33 R, and for those who have worked in the regions of the Far North for 15 years and have no dependents - 11 350. 99 R.

    How to calculate old age pension

    For those who retire on a seniority basis, the formula is different. It depends on the salary while working. For example, astronauts are paid 55% of their salary.

    Who can retire early

    1. Men and women who served under the contract: military, civil servants, cosmonauts, pilots.
    2. Workers who worked in special and difficult conditions in the Far North and areas equivalent to it.
    3. Medical workers, teachers, artists. The right to early retirement does not appear immediately after working out the required length of service.
    4. Pre-pensioners, if they were laid off or fired due to the liquidation of the enterprise and they cannot find another job.
    5. Mothers of many children.
    6. Women with 37 years of work experience and men with 42 years of work experience.
    7. People with disabilities, parents or guardians of a child with a disability.
