• 1

  United States publishes retirement savings figures in US Dollar, revised periodically — enter the rate currently in force for your case in United States rather than an older stored figure so the result matches the official calculation.

• 2

  When comparing two options for United States, run both through this retirement savings with the same rate and the same US Dollar basis; then the difference you see reflects the options themselves rather than an inconsistency between the two inputs.

• 3

  Treat the computed US Dollar amount as the base figure for United States: any additional local fees, deductions, or rounding rules that apply to your situation must be added separately, so the number you rely on stays honest and complete.

• Rates in United States move — annually, or with each fiscal announcement — and a Retirement Savings result computed from last year's figure misleads budgets and quotes alike. Re-enter the current rate whenever the underlying number changes.

• This page computes in US Dollar, United States's currency: pasting a figure from a neighboring country's calculator mixes currencies silently. Re-run the number on the matching country page so the US Dollar basis holds.
