How This Retirement Calculator Works

This retirement calculator models two phases of your financial life: the years you’re still working and saving, and the years you’re retired and withdrawing. It grows your savings year by year using your inputs, then checks whether your money lasts through your expected retirement.

Decumulation phaseAfter retirement age, while you’re withdrawing from your portfolio.
Replacement rateThe % of your final income you’ll need each year in retirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much money do I need to retire in Canada?

It depends on your desired lifestyle, but a common starting point is 70% of your pre-retirement income per year. This retirement calculator lets you set your own target, or enter an exact dollar amount instead.

What is a safe withdrawal rate in retirement?

Many calculators use 4% per year as a starting reference point, though the right rate depends on your growth rate, time horizon, and other income sources like pensions. This calculator shows your actual first-year withdrawal rate based on your own numbers.

Does this calculator include CPP and OAS?

For Canadian users: CPP and OAS are Canadian government pension programs, so this note applies to a Canadian audience specifically. They’re not included automatically — enter your expected CPP, OAS, and any employer pension as a combined monthly amount in the Monthly Pension field. For an accurate CPP estimate, use the Government of Canada’s official CPP calculator.

Is this retirement calculator halal-compliant or Sharia-certified?

This tool is a math-only planning calculator and does not certify any product as Sharia-compliant. It is not financial or Sharia advice. Consult a qualified financial and Sharia professional before making investment decisions.

What growth rate should I use?

There is no single correct answer, since it depends on your investments and risk tolerance. Not sure about yours? Try ezRizq’s free Risk Tolerance Assessment. Many long-term investors use a conservative estimate for pre-retirement growth and an even more conservative one for retirement, when withdrawals reduce the balance available to grow.

Can I save my progress and come back later?

Yes. With Auto-save turned on, your inputs are saved in your browser and reload automatically next time you visit. Turn it off, or use a private/incognito window, if you’d rather nothing be saved.
