Five Years by Quarter (Impact of Pay Raises).
Retirement planning BEGINS by targeting your retirement date. Here we provide 5 years of pension estimates (by quarter) and factor in the impact of pay raises. Note how the 0.00% BASELINE provides important perspective: If 3.00% pay raises stay even with the cost-of-living (inflation) - then retiring at age 54.81 (11.26 years from now) on $6,584.08 / month is the same as retiring today on $4,718.88 / month.
