The problem is, of course, that each calculator produced different results … results that can vary from a low ’safe withdrawal rate’ of, say, 3.5% to a high of 7%.

That’s the difference between retiring on, as an example, $100,000 a year or $200,000 a year …

… so, you had better ‘choose your weapon’ wisely!

My advice: plan for the lower number, readjust every 5 years and hope that you will be ‘pleasantly surprised’.
