The withdrawal rate you choose is a planning rule of thumb based on historical market returns — it isn’t a guarantee, and it doesn’t account for taxes, healthcare costs, or a downturn early in retirement. This is educational, not personalized financial advice. See our guide on how much to save for retirement for more on where the 4% figure comes from.
