📈 Projected 401(k) Balance at Retirement: $_______
(Compound growth with annual contributions is the method used.) How Things Work: Annual Salary + Annual Contributions = (Employee % + Employer %). (For instance, if your employer contributes 3% of a $60,000 salary and you contribute 6%, your annual contribution is 9% x $60,000 = $5,400) Compound Growth: Your balance grows yearly based on returns.
Adjustments: Salary increases raise contributions over time.
Example of a computation: Age 30 → 65 (35 years), Current Balance: $20,000
$60,000, with a match of 3% and a contribution of 6%. Return: 6%, Salary Growth: 2%
Result: ~$1,050,000 at retirement.
How to Save More Money: ✔ Increase contributions (e.g., 10-15%).
