The number is the easy part. The account strategy is where money is won.

Which accounts to fund in which order — employer match, HSA, Roth, taxable — can change your after-tax outcome by six figures on the same contributions. We’ll map yours, free.

HOW IT WORKS & IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The required contribution is the level annual amount (shown monthly as one-twelfth) that, combined with your current savings compounding at your expected return, reaches your target exactly at retirement age; the waiting comparison re-solves the same equation with a shorter runway. This simplified educational tool is not financial, legal, or tax advice, not a projection of any actual investment, and not a guarantee. It assumes constant returns and inflation, ignores taxes, fees, market volatility, and sequence-of-returns risk, and actual results will differ. Consult a qualified professional about your situation.
