Frequently asked questions

What return should I assume?

Historically a diversified stock portfolio has averaged roughly 7%–10% before inflation. Use a conservative figure and remember past performance does not guarantee future results.

Does this account for inflation?

No. To see purchasing power in today's dollars, subtract expected inflation (around 2%–3%) from your return rate.
