The withdrawal rate and return are assumptions. Taxes, fees, inflation, return volatility, and retirement length can materially change the required portfolio.
The target portfolio equals estimated annual spending divided by the selected annual withdrawal rate. Time to target compounds the current portfolio at the entered annual return converted to a monthly rate and adds the monthly contribution for up to 100 years.
A rule of thumb such as 4% is not a guaranteed return or a universally safe withdrawal rate. Consider retirement horizon, asset allocation, inflation, taxes, sequence risk, and other income sources.
