How it works

  1. You put in a percent of your pay each year, up to the yearly limit.
  2. Your employer matches part of it, up to their cap.
  3. The balance grows at your expected return, and your pay grows with raises.
  4. Milestones show the balance every ten years.

Take the whole match

A match is part of your pay. Contributing at least enough to get all of it is usually the first step.

Questions

What return should I use?

Long-run stock returns have averaged around 7% after inflation, but no one knows the future. Try a lower number to be safe.

What is the contribution limit?

The IRS sets a yearly limit; this calculator uses a sample figure and holds your contribution to it.

How accurate is this?

It’s an estimate from the numbers you enter. Real statements and rates vary a little.

Is this calculator free?

Yes. No sign-up. It’s in the pinchd app too, where the answer fits into your actual paychecks.
