Frequently Asked Questions
What is a safe withdrawal rate?

Many financial planners recommend a 3-4% initial withdrawal rate, adjusted for inflation annually. Lower rates increase the probability that your corpus lasts 30+ years.

Can I withdraw more than 4%?

Higher withdrawal rates significantly increase the risk of outliving your savings. For early retirees or those with longer life expectancy, a 3% or lower rate may be more appropriate.
