Methodology & Assumptions

This calculator uses the standard annuity payout formula assuming a fixed annual rate of return. It does not account for sequence-of-returns risk, variable market conditions, taxes, or fees. All figures are nominal unless inflation adjustment is enabled. The inflation adjustment assumes a constant 3% annual inflation rate for illustrative purposes. All computations use decimal.js for precision.
