things in retirement planning. The above table shows the assumed estimated income from different sources
monthly and annually. Retirement income may come from a variety of sources, and the percentage of each
may change over time. These sources may include a pension, Social Security, other income and savings,
and even part-time work. The after-tax benefit of each source of income needs to be considered. The
We often neglect to save for retirement. For people in their 20s, the future seems so far ahead
that other expenses feel more urgent. Yet these are the years when compound interest is a game-
changer: Saving small amounts can pay off massively down the road—far more than saving higher
If simple interest is charged at 5% on a 10,000 that is taken out in three years, then the
Simple Interest= P × I × n
Interest in this will grow at 500 annually, or 1500 over the three-year term.
Compound Interest = total amount of principal and interest in future (or future value) less the
principal amount at present, called present value (PV). PV is the current worth of a future sum of money or
Compound Interest= (P (1+I) n) − P
Where :
P=Principal
i=Interest rate in percentage terms
n=Number of compounding periods for a year
Interest= 10,000((1+0.05)^3−1)
= 10,000(1.157625−1)
= 1,576.25
While the total interest growth over the three-year period of this is 1,576.25, unlike simple interest,
the interest amount is not the same for all three years because compound interest also takes into
consideration the accumulated interest of previous periods. Interest payable at the end of each year is
Compound interest gives your retirement savings a boost. The more time your money has to
compound and grow, the more opportunity for those earnings to earn additional money. This means that if
you start early, you don’t have to set aside as much money as you would starting later.

Retirement planning considers listing down the expected expenses to determine how much money
will save for the future. Also, we must consider the risks that affect our retirement income. Inflation will
erode the purchasing power of your income over time. The various investment markets may occasionally

up the odd gig here or there, it probably won't be enough to sustain your current lifestyle. And Social
Security benefits will only take you so far. That's why it's so important to have a viable plan that allows you
to get the maximum amount of money when you retire. Retirement planning is such an important part of
our financial well-being. But there are other things we need to consider outside of what happens after you
retire. There are lot of factors to consider that may change or break your plans so it is important to posits
all worst case scenario and include options or back up plan for unexpected things that might happen.
Ensure that your finances are giving you the biggest tax breaks possible, so a PERA may be a good idea
if you believe you'll be earning some income later on in life. You may also want to consider what happens
to your assets after you die, which is where estate planning comes into play. Life insurance can help offset
any expenses that you leave behind for your loved ones if you become injured or die unexpectedly.
