Retiremetn calcultor FAQs

1. How much savings do I need to retire comfortably in the Philippines?

2026 cost-of-living data suggests that you need at least 70% of your pre-retirement income to sustain your lifestyle through retirement. Spikes in inflation and other factors can change this figure.

2. Is my current salary enough to fund my retirement?

Financial experts recommend following the Rule of 25, which entails multiplying your current salary by 25. The Sun Life retirement calculator identifies your "Savings Gap" by considering other real-life factors.

3. How does Philippine inflation affect my retirement savings?

The purchasing power of P1 million today will be significantly lower in 20 years. Our calculator automatically adjusts your future needs based on projected inflation trends.

4. What is the Retirement Gap and how do I calculate it?

The Retirement Gap is the difference between what you will have, based on your current savings and salary, and what you will need to maintain your lifestyle beyond your employment years.

5. Does this calculator include SSS, GSIS, or 13th-month pay?

This tool focuses primarily on your personal savings and total salary. We do not collect information from your SSS, GSIS, and private pensions. You can access them individually and subtract them from your shortfall, if any.
