Worked example

Starting from 1000000, withdrawing 10000 per month for 12 months at a 6% annual return (0.5% per month, applied before each withdrawal) leaves 938322.19, after 120000 withdrawn in total.

What this tool does not do / Limits

This is an estimate from the rate you enter, not financial advice and not a guaranteed outcome. Real returns vary month to month, and the tool ignores tax, fees and inflation.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if withdrawals exceed growth?

The balance falls each month and can run out; the projection shows a negative balance in that case.

Is the return applied before or after withdrawal?

In this model, monthly growth is applied first, then the withdrawal is taken.
