Using example data we've been discussing, the top half of the table suggests a 3.25% withdrawal rate is the fail-safe amount in all cohorts. If you go up to 3.75%, the failure rate is 5.65% for cohorts since 1926 and 6.21% for all data modeled. Cells J6 through V25 use a similar approach, but also incorporate how the S&P 500 index is doing relative to recent highs.

Do you want to avoid the biggest retirement risk? This simple to use tool will let you model your safe withdrawal rate and help ensure you don't run out of money. In this walkthrough video, we teach you how to use this powerful, flexible, and FREE tool created by Karsten Jeske. Using the SWR Toolbox, you can ensure that you have a personalized plan that works with your own financial situation.
