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."

Safe monthly spend (today's money)
"Sustainable at X% return" is the math — which age actually fits depends on your health, appetite for work, and family setup.
This tool is an educational illustration, not a prediction of future market performance, and does not constitute a recommendation on when to retire. Each "safe monthly spend" figure is an illustrative projection under the current assumptions, not a prediction or guarantee, and only counts the effect on assets outside EPF.
