Retirement Catch-Up Calculator: Am I on Track? Free Projection

Golden rising arrow over a dark sea — retirement planning

The good news about being behind on retirement savings: the fix is a number, not a miracle. The catch-up calculator projects what your current balance and contributions become by 65, shows the gap to your target, and — most usefully — tells you the exact monthly amount that closes it. The bad news is the number is usually bigger than feels comfortable, which is why the guide also covers the levers that shrink it: later retirement age, lower target, and the 1%-per-raise trick.

❓ Retirement savings catch-up — FAQ

How much do I need saved for retirement?

A starting rule: estimate yearly retirement spending and multiply by 25 — that supports a 4% annual withdrawal. Adjust for pensions and social security.

Is it too late to catch up at 50?

No — the last 15 years still hold massive compounding power, and catch-up contributions (higher limits after 50) exist precisely for this.

What is the single best catch-up move?

Automate a contribution increase with every pay rise — you never feel the money and the balance quietly compounds.
