Projected value vs. target needed, age 40–65

You're on track

At your current savings rate you'll have $1,445,127 by age 65 — $78,620 more than your target.

Your CPP and OAS ($18,756/yr) cover 27% of your spending goal, which substantially reduces the portfolio draw.

All amounts are in today's dollars, so you can compare them with what you spend now. Your savings grow at 6.0% a year less 2.5% inflation (about 3.4% after inflation), and your monthly savings are assumed to rise with inflation. The target uses a 3.75% safe withdrawal rate. A full plan adds market ups and downs and Canadian tax rules.
