This calculator will help you work out how much of your nest egg you'll need to cover your semi-retirement/retirement spending. This is over and above New Zealand Super, any other regular income you can depend on and any money you have in your final home.

Notes on this calculator
  1. These calculators are designed to give you ballpark figures only - in other words, they won't be exact to the absolute dollars and cents.
  2. You don't need to use dollar signs or commas when inserting dollar amounts. Example: 10500 not $10,500.
  3. Semi-retired or retired
    Retirement means different things to different people. For many, it's the time when they are no longer working at all.

    Nowadays, with people living longer, healthier lives, many choose to spend a number of years reducing their hours at work. The transition into retirement can span 10 years or more.

    Sorted 60plus refers to this transition phase as semi-retired.
