Free basic retirement calculators

If you are just looking to take a brief snapshot of your retirement situation, some of the following calculators may be helpful. Many of them will provide you with some basic retirement information that will be helpful. However, they will not provide you with the advanced features that MyFinancialSoftware.com's Retirement Calculator will provide.

For example, most of these calculators just multiply your saving by an average rate of return, while MyFinancialSoftware.com's Retirement Calculator actually simulates the real investment market each year until you retire. Using statistical techniques, the software generates market returns-some years' returns will be good, while in other years the returns can be negative, just like real life. The software also runs a simulation of you life 1,000 different times to generate the results.

The basic retirement calculators are found at the following websites:

• Fidelity.com has a retirement calculator in there Retirement Planning area.
• Quicken.com's retirement calculator at http://www.quicken.com/retirement/planner
• W.F. Sharpe's Retirement planning worksheet at http://www.stanford.edu/~wfsharpe/ws/ws_ret.htm
• Fool.com has retirement calculator in their retirement area.
• MSN.com's retirement planner is found at the following address: http://moneycentral.msn.com/retire/planner.asp
