today's purchasing power · ≈ RM 12,400/mo in retirement-year ringgit

per month, with assets lasting to age 95.

Already includes your 3% inflation assumption — the EPF Quick Check does not include inflation, so the two numbers aren't directly comparable.

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 would drop by about 42%, based on your current inputs.
