Your scenario

Your current scenario doesn't last to age 95

You have two paths to consider — pick whichever fits your current life stage:

Option A · Reduce retirement spend
RM 9,800/month

Drop monthly spend to this amount (or lower) — on the assumptions above, assets last to age 95. Suits clients willing to adjust lifestyle for a wider safety margin.

Option B · Save more before retirement
+RM 11,600/month

Keep the RM 15,000/month target, but from now until age 60, save this much extra per month (compounded at 5% over 10 years) to close the gap. Suits clients who still have earning capacity.

Key insights

Inflation is the silent enemy

At your assumed 3% inflation, purchasing power erodes every year. 30 years from now, RM 1 buys about RM 0.41 worth of today's goods.

Medical costs accelerate

After 65, medical costs typically grow at 2-3× inflation. Your RM 500,000 reserve is a start — we usually recommend at least RM 500,000.

Return assumptions need to be conservative

You assumed 5% annual return. If actual is just 3%, your safe monthly budget drops by about 25%.
