Dave Ramsey Retirement Calculator
Indiana

How this calculator works for Indiana residents

This Dave Ramsey retirement calculator follows the same Baby Step 4 methodology wherever you live. It projects your retirement nest egg using the 15% contribution rule, Ramsey's recommended 8% withdrawal rate, and his 12% growth stock mutual fund assumption. Indiana residents can enter their household income, current retirement savings, employer match details, pension income, and expected Social Security benefits to see if they're on track for the retirement they want.

Key features for Indiana planning

• Pension & Social Security — Offset your required nest egg by entering expected monthly pension and Social Security income.

• Employer Match — Include your Indiana employer's 401(k) or 403(b) match to boost your projection.
