📉 Five years late costs about $205,000

Every year you do not start is a year the compounding does not run: five years of delay takes about $205,000 off the total and turns a $500 monthly habit into a $753 one just to land in the same place. Twelve months of waiting on a mortgage has cost +$77/month and $22,706 in interest on the median U.S. home. See the math, with the sources — updated monthly from Freddie Mac, Case-Shiller and Census data.

How This Works

This calculator projects your retirement balance based on current savings, monthly contributions (including employer match), and expected annual returns. We assume contributions continue until your retirement age.

The 4% Rule: In retirement, you can typically withdraw 4% of your balance annually without running out of money. So $1 million = $40,000/year income. Aim to save 10-15% of your income for retirement.
