How the calculation works

Monthly return = (1 + annual return)^(1/12) − 1. Income is inflated to retirement; required savings use end-of-year withdrawals discounted by real return (1 + return)/(1 + inflation) − 1.

Worked example

Age 30 to 31 at 0% with 1,000 initial and 100 saved monthly gives 2,200 at retirement, covering exactly one year of deposits.

Assumptions and limits

Month-end savings and end-of-year retirement withdrawals, constant return and inflation. Zero real return is supported. Pensions, taxes, fees and sequence-of-returns risk are excluded.
