How Much to Save

 New saver | Experienced saver

“How much should you save?”

If you’re a young cub, any amount of regular savings is great. That’s because, with decades to save, your money has longer to potentially compound and grow. Just be sure to stick with it, and periodically bump up your percent contribution. If you’ve been in the workforce a while, and haven’t started to save, you’ll need to do a bit more. With fewer years to save (between now and retirement), you may want to select a healthy contribution rate or take some investment risk, or both.


With new savers, half the battle is just finding the money to save. So, let’s identify what you’ve got to work with and then we’ll take it from there.

“How long you save is just as important as how much you save.”

Retirement is an expensive goal. So just a few bucks in the bank, or half-hearted plan participation won’t cut it. Having enough for retirement requires starting early, saving diligently, and increasing your contribution every chance you get.
