The calculator uses compound interest principles to estimate your future pension income. The results are based on the assumptions you provide and should be used as a guide only.

Formula Explained

The pension income calculation is based on the future value of your contributions with compound interest. The formula used is:

Future Value = P × [(1 + r)^n - 1] / r

Where:

P = Annual pension contribution
r = Annual investment return (as a decimal)
n = Number of years until retirement

Your monthly pension income is then calculated by multiplying the future value by your withdrawal rate and dividing by 12.

Note: This calculator uses simplified assumptions. Actual pension income may vary based on market conditions, investment choices, and other factors.

Worked Example

Let's calculate an example pension income scenario:

Input	Value
Current Age	35
Retirement Age	65
Annual Contribution	$10,000
Annual Return	7%
Withdrawal Rate	4%

Using the formula:

Number of years until retirement = 65 - 35 = 30 years
Future value = $10,000 × [(1 + 0.07)^30 - 1] / 0.07 ≈ $623,700
Monthly pension income = $623,700 × 0.04 / 12 ≈ $205.60

This example shows an estimated monthly pension income of $205.60 based on the provided inputs.
