The results are hypothetical and do not represent the performance of any particular investment. Actual results will be more or less favorable. Retirement Savings indicate the amount saved until retirement and assumes baseline income and savings increases of 2% and 1%, respectively, and a hypothetical annual investment return rate of 5% (Motley Fool, November 2015 [https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/11/01/the-average-americans-investment-returns-and-how-y.aspx]). Retirement Withdrawals indicate the annual deduction of retirement savings, adjusted by the anticipated Social Security benefit and 2% inflation (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics [https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CUUR0000SA0L1E?output_view=pct_12mths]). This assumes no withdrawals during the savings period and doesn’t take into consideration any taxes.
