Ramsey Retirement Calculator
Tap a star to rate
The Ramsey Retirement Calculator uses the 25x rule and assumes 10-12% annual returns on your investments. You enter your desired annual spending in retirement, and it multiplies by 25 to show your target nest egg. The math is intentionally simple: if you want to spend $50,000 annually, you need $1.25 million saved. This straightforward approach appeals to people who want a quick target without spreadsheets.
It's best suited for people aligned with Dave Ramsey's philosophy and who're comfortable with the 25x multiplier and return assumptions. If you prefer a single, memorable rule of thumb over probability distributions and complex variables, this calculator delivers a clear finish line. For comparison, you might want to test your number against other methods, but as a starting point, it's quick and removes the paralysis of not knowing your goal.
