Simulator · What's One More Year Worth

Each year you delay retirement — how much more can you spend?

Same assets, same assumptions — how much does your safe monthly spend rise for each year you push retirement back? A real price tag on "should I work one more year," not just a vague "hang in there."

Retirement age range to compare

This version only counts the effect of one more year of contributions/one fewer year of withdrawals on assets outside EPF — it doesn't include any extra non-asset saving, so the real benefit could be higher.

Safe monthly spend (today's money)

Which age fits you depends on more than the numbers

"Sustainable at X% return" is the math — which age actually fits depends on your health, appetite for work, and family setup.
