Retirement Needs Calculator
Retirement Needs Calculator
Estimate the lump sum you’ll need at retirement to provide your
desired monthly income (in today’s KES), for a given number of years,
after allowing for inflation.
How much you’d like to spend per month in retirement, in
today’s shillings.
Roughly how long you expect your retirement to last (e.g. 20–30 years).
Use after-fees returns. The calculator uses a
real return (return minus inflation) to estimate how
much capital you need.
Estimate from pension, SACCO, investments, etc. Used to show
whether you’re over or under your target.
Please enter sensible values: monthly income & years in retirement must be positive.
💡 A common rule of thumb is the “4% rule” – this tool
gives a more tailored estimate using your own inflation and return assumptions.

This is a simplified planning tool. It assumes constant inflation,
constant real return and level (inflation-adjusted) income through
retirement. Real-life planning should also consider tax, healthcare,
inheritance goals and changing spending patterns.
