Historically, a diversified stock portfolio has returned 7%–10% annually before inflation. A more conservative mixed portfolio of stocks and bonds may return 5%–7%. Use 6%–7% as a realistic long-term assumption.
A common rule of thumb is to save 25× your annual retirement expenses (the '4% rule'). If you need $3,000/month ($36,000/year), target a nest egg of $900,000. This calculator does this math for you automatically.
