Who doesn't have a retirement dream? Yours may be as simple as sleeping late or riding your bike on a sunny afternoon, or as daring as jumping out of a plane at age 90. Living your retirement dream the way you want means saving now—and saving enough so you don't have to worry about money in retirement.

But how much is enough?

Our guideline: Aim to save at least 15% of your pre-tax income1 each year, which includes any employer match. That's assuming you save for retirement from age 25 to age 67. Together with other steps, that should help ensure you have enough income to maintain your current lifestyle in retirement.

How did we come up with 15%? First, we had to understand how much people generally spend in retirement. After analyzing enormous amounts of national spending data, we concluded that most people will need somewhere between 55% and 80% of their preretirement income to maintain their lifestyle in retirement.1

Not all of that money will need to come from your savings, however. Some will likely come from Social Security. So, we did the math and found that most people will need to generate about 45% of their retirement income (before taxes) from savings. Based on our estimates, saving 15% each year from age 25 to 67 should get you there. If you are lucky enough to have a pension, your target savings rate may be lower.

Here's a hypothetical example. Consider Joanna, age 25, who earns $54,000 a year. We assume her income grows 1.5% a year (after inflation) to about $100,000 by the time she is 67 and ready to retire. To maintain her preretirement lifestyle throughout retirement, we estimate that about $45,000 each year (adjusted for inflation), or 45% of her $100,000 preretirement income, needs to come from her savings. (The remainder would come from Social Security.)

Because she takes advantage of her employer's 5% dollar-for-dollar match on her 401(k) contributions, she needs to save 10% of her income each year, starting with $5,400 this year, which gets her to 15% of her current income.

Is 15% enough?

That depends, of course, on the choices you make before retirement—most importantly, when you start saving and when you retire. Any other income sources you may have, such as a pension, should also be considered.

Now that you know a savings rate to consider, here are some steps to think about that can help you get to it.

1. Start early

The single most important thing you can do is start saving early. The earlier you start, the more time you have for your investments to grow—and recover from the market's inevitable downturns.

If retirement is decades away, it may be hard to think or care about it. But when you are young is precisely the time to start saving for retirement. Even though it can be a challenge to save for the future, giving your savings those extra years to grow could make the struggle worth it—every little bit you can save helps.

Assumes no retirement savings balance before starting age. See footnote numbers 2 and 3 below for more information.

2. Delay retirement

Our 15% savings guideline assumes that a person retires at age 67, which is when most people will be eligible for full Social Security benefits. If you don't plan to work that long, you will likely need to save more than 15% a year. If you plan to work longer, all things being equal, your required saving rate could be lower.

Other steps to take

The road to retirement is a journey, and there are steps you can take along the way to catch up. Here are 6 tips to get started:

  • Let Uncle Sam help. Make the most of tax-advantaged savings accounts like traditional 401(k)s and IRAs. Your contributions are made before tax, reducing your current taxable income, meaning you get a tax break the year you contribute. Plus, that money can grow tax-free until you withdraw it in retirement, when it will be taxed as ordinary income. With Roth 401(k)s and IRAs, your contributions are after tax, but you can withdraw the money tax-free in retirement—assuming certain conditions are met.4

    If you have a high deductible health plan (HDHP) eligible for a health savings account (HSA), consider contributing to an HSA to cover current and future health care expenses. HSA contributions are pre-tax and tax-deductible. Plus, when you use money saved in an HSA on qualified medical expenses now or in retirement, the withdrawals—of contributions and any investment returns—are tax-free. 5

  • Max and match. Got room to up your 401(k) and IRA contributions before you hit the relevant annual contribution limit? Increase your automatic contributions as much as possible. At the very least, take advantage of your company match if you have one. That's effectively "free" money.

  • Take the 1% challenge. Upping your saving just 1% may seem small, but after 20 or 30 years it can make a big difference in your total savings. For example, if you are in your 20s, a 1% increase in your savings rate could add 3% more6 to your income in retirement.

  • Catch up. If you are 50 or older, be sure to make the most of catch-up contributions to your retirement savings plans. For 2022, employees over 50 can contribute an extra $6,500 over the $20,500 limit for their 401(k), 403(b), or other employer-sponsored savings plans for a total of $27,000. If you have an IRA, you can contribute an extra $1,000 in addition to the $6,000 contribution limit for a total of $7,000 in 2022.
  • Size up your portfolio. Market movements can shift your investment mix. Too much in stocks can increase your risk of loss—too little can undermine growth potential. Aim to have a diversified mix of investments. At least once a year, take a look at your investments and make sure you have the right amount of stocks, bonds, and cash to stay on track to meet your long-term goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon.
  • Consider your investing style. If you don't have the skill, will, or time to manage your investments, consider an age-based target date fund or managed account, where professional managers do it for you. There are also target risk funds, or target allocation funds, that offer a diversified mix of investments across asset classes. You pick the level of stock market risk you'd like based on your risk tolerance and the fund managers do the rest.

Make savings a priority

Keep your eye on your dreams. Do the best you can to get to at least 15%. Of course, it may not be possible to hit that target every year. You may have more pressing financial demands—children, parents, a leaky roof, a lost job, or other needs. But try not to forget about your future—make your retirement a priority too.

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.

In the second half of 2022 and in 2023, only those who received it earlier and for some reason did not use the right to retire will have the right to retire. From 2024, women will be able to retire at age 58, and men at age 63. nine0003

In 2028, the requirements will be tightened: 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?

This is possible if they worked in harmful or difficult working conditions, served under a contract, gave birth to three or more children, or were fired at pre-retirement age. nine0003

Course: how to protect your rights at work

Conditions for early retirement

After years of service , for example, civil servants, military personnel, citizens and astronauts can retire flight test personnel.

Federal civil servants are officials who have entered into a service contract with the Russian Federation through federal authorities. nine0003

Art. 10 of the law "On the system of civil 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. 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 receive a retirement pension, regardless of whether there is an old-age pension, they must meet three conditions:

  1. Have worked in the civil service for 25 years.
  2. Resign voluntarily.
  3. Hold a position in the federal state civil service for at least 7 years before leaving.

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

Civil servants of the constituent entities 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, 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 or grace years.

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. nine0003

Astronaut citizens are:

  1. Astronaut candidates.
  2. Test cosmonauts.
  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 cosmonauts, due to health reasons, can no longer work, then men can retire after 20 years of service, 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, parachute equipment.
  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. nine0038

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. nine0003

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

By experience. You can go on 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. nine0003

para. 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 work, work with harmful working conditions and in hot shops from list No. 1.

    must work 25 years, must work 25 years, but they can take early retirement only after 4 years. From 2023, the retirement date will move 5 years.

    For example, in 2022, the experience of a school teacher was 25 years. He cannot immediately apply for a pension - he will have to wait 4 years. The teacher will need to apply for a pension in 2026. nine0003

    Medical 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 in 2022 will be able to apply for a pension not immediately after completing the required length of service, but after 4 years. From 2023, you will have to wait 5 years. nine0003

    Artists of theaters or theater and entertainment organizations can also retire early in the same order as teachers and doctors - 4-5 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 pension fund 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 apply for its appointment. It is necessary to attach a passport, SNILS and a work book to it.

    The Pension Fund of Russia has all the information about the length of service, since employers submit information about payments for their employees there every month. If the PFR 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.

    Sample application can be downloaded from the PFR website.

    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.

    Until the day of application, a pension can be assigned 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.

    Pensioners' rights by age

    Can early retirement be denied

    The Pension Fund may refuse to pay an early pension if there is not enough special service. Or if the applicant did not submit documents confirming the length of service, and the FIU 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 2022, the generally established fixed payment is 6564.31 R, and for those who have worked in the Far North for 15 years, it is 9846.15 Р. 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. nine0038
    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.
