Retire at 55 Calculator
A balanced early retirement plan with moderate savings requirements.
Retiring at 55 gives you 10 years before traditional retirement age, with access to most retirement accounts penalty-free by 59.5. A savings rate of 30-40% is typically sufficient. At 55, you will need to bridge the gap to Social Security and Medicare eligibility, so plan for healthcare costs and consider a Roth IRA ladder conversion strategy.
