Current Monthly Expenses

We apply a 70% replacement ratio for post-retirement spending as market consensus believes most people need approximately 70% of their current spending to maintain reasonable post-retirement living standards. Therefore, in this retirement calculator, “Monthly income required at retirement” equals to 70% of the “Current monthly expenses” regardless of inflation impact. “Current monthly expenses” is also used for calculating “Total required at retirement”, but not used for calculating “Total available at retirement”.
