Can I retire yet?
The honest answer is a number, not a feeling. It comes down to what you have, what you will spend, and how long it needs to last. Here is how to know, and how Mr. C runs the math for you.
It is a math question, not a gut feeling.
You can retire when what you have, growing at a reasonable rate, can cover what you will spend for as long as you will live, without running out. That is it. The fear and the guessing fall away once you put real numbers to it.
The three numbers that decide it.
- What you have. Your invested savings plus any cash, today.
- What you will spend. Your real annual cost of living in retirement, inflation included.
- How long it must last. Your age now and a long, safe life expectancy.
What the calculator shows you.
Mr. C turns those three numbers into one clear answer: the nest egg you need, how close you are, and how many years your money would last at the spending you set. No spreadsheets, no jargon, just your number and how far away it is.
The danger of guessing.
- Know your real spending, not a rounded guess. It is the number that matters most.
- Plan for a long life so your money does not run out early.
- Keep a cash buffer so a bad market early in retirement cannot force you to sell low.
- Check your number, then check the market read beside it.

Questions people ask.
How much do I need to retire?
It depends on your spending and timeline, not a single magic figure. A common starting point is roughly 25 times your annual spending, but your real number comes from your own costs and how long it must last.
How long will my money last in retirement?
That depends on your balance, your spending, your return, and inflation. Mr. C projects it for you so you can see the year your money would run out, or that it outlasts you.
