Planning for retirement can feel overwhelming, especially with inflation, lifestyle needs, and longevity all impacting how much you’ll need. Fortunately, Investonline’s Retirement Calculator makes the process simple, clear, and free for all South Africans.
One of the biggest questions people face is: Will I have enough to retire comfortably? Our calculator is designed to help you answer that—and more—with real data, visual insights, and flexible assumptions.
1. Estimate Your Retirement Income with Clarity
The Retirement Calculator gives you a clear view of what your savings could provide in retirement. With just a few basic inputs like:
- Your current age
- Expected retirement age
- Total retirement savings
- Desired monthly or annual retirement income
…you’ll receive an instant projection of your retirement income and how long your capital may last.
2. Customise with Advanced Inputs for Greater Accuracy
If you want a more personalised estimate, advanced options let you go deeper:
- Set your birth date and preferred retirement month
- Include monthly or annual contributions
- Adjust expected income increases (inflation-linked)
This is especially useful for Living Annuity and Retirement Annuity holders looking to plan sustainable drawdowns.
3. Visualise Your Financial Future with Interactive Graphs
The Retirement Calculator doesn’t just give numbers—it turns your savings into simple, interactive charts. Instantly see:
- How your capital grows or depletes over time
- How long your savings might last
- How adjustments to return or inflation impact outcomes
These insights make it easier to spot gaps, adjust plans, and take action early—long before retirement arrives.
4. Choose Your Risk Profile and Simulate Market Conditions
The tool lets you choose from three built-in risk-return models:
- Aggressive – Higher risk and potential growth
- Moderate – Balanced approach with stable returns
- Conservative – Lower volatility and protection of capital
You can also manually enter your own expected return and inflation rates to see how different market scenarios affect your income.
5. Make Smarter, More Confident Retirement Decisions
Whether you have a Pension Fund, Provident Fund, Preservation Fund or Living Annuity, planning matters.
Use the calculator to:
- Compare different drawdown strategies
- Test longevity scenarios (e.g. living to 85 vs. 95)
- Understand what a safe withdrawal rate looks like
This removes the guesswork and helps you avoid running out of savings later in life.
