What might retirement look like?

Jean, a 45-year-old engineer, would like to retire at 65. How much will he need to save to reach this goal?

Current age: 45 years old
Years until retirement: 20 years old
Annual income: $85,000
Debts: 0$
Mortgage: fully paid
RRSP/TFSA: $300,000

Retirement income equal to 70% of his current income would amount to $59,500 per year. Taking into account his current income, he will qualify to receive the Old Age Security (OAS) pension and most likely the maximum amount from the Québec Pension Plan. As a result, Jean will need to draw $36,750 each year from his savings.

With inflation at 2%, 30 years of retirement and a 4% average annualized return on his investments, he will have to save $18,270 each year to reach his goal of having a little over $1,200,000 in investments.
