How much do you need for retirement?

Your personal saving rate is the biggest factor in building your financial security, more than income or investment returns.

Your ideal savings rate completely depends on what you are saving for — a computer, a car, a summer home, a down payment or anything else. This calculator by WiserAdvisor can help you to determine how much you need to save on a regular basis to have the funds ready when needed.
