New Look for Rule #1 Retirement Calculator Puts Saving and Investing Side by Side

ATLANTA - EntSun -- Planning for retirement starts with a number. The updated Retirement Calculator from Rule #1 Investing helps investors find theirs, with a fresh design, clearer results, and a side-by-side look at saving versus investing.

The comparison is the centerpiece. One side shows working and saving; the other shows working and investing. Together, they illustrate how inflation affects savings while money invested in quality businesses has the potential to grow and compound.

Users enter the lifestyle they want to fund, pension or other guaranteed income, expected inflation, and years before and during retirement. Current investment capital, annual savings, and expected returns round it out. The calculator then estimates how much they'd need to save each year.

For shortfalls, the page suggests saving more, working longer, adjusting the retirement budget, or revisiting assumptions like inflation and returns.
