How the calculator works

We split your balance across your ETFs and use each fund's distribution yield over the past 12 months and its level of franking to estimate your income. For growth we use long-term assumptions for each asset class. Each year we take out your spending (rising with inflation), or the legal minimum pension drawdown if that's higher, and grow what's left.

The three lines show what happens with average returns, and with returns 2% a year lower or higher. Real markets don't move in a straight line, and a big fall in the first few years of retirement can make money run out sooner. That's why many retirees keep one to three years of spending in cash.
