Retirement Calculator

How It Works

It's critical to begin saving for retirement as early as possible; that's because it can take time for your funds to grow. This calculator will allow you to see how much you need to save now in order to enjoy your current standard of living when you retire.

Start by entering your annual pre-tax income and the amount you currently have in a savings account or retirement fund. The calculator will automatically preset the Retirement Goal slider to 70% of your current annual income, move the slider if you predict that you'll need a higher or lower percentage of your current salary each year to live during retirement. Adjust the monthly savings slider to the percentage you're planning to save each month for retirement. 

The Rate of Return is the return you expect on your savings. If you're saving in a typical savings account, that will be the interest rate. If you're using a retirement fund, many experts estimate the rate of return to be between 4 and 6 percent, though it will fluctuate.

Adjust the Current Age, Retirement Age, and Life Expectancy sliders accordingly. The calculator will display an estimated monthly income, which includes an average monthly distribution from your retirement savings as well as a projected amount from social security. The calculator will also show you the total amount you will save for retirement and how much you will need to save to meet your retirement goal.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why is it important to set up a travel notification before traveling?

    Setting up a travel notification tells Listerhill that you will be using your card overseas or in a different state. By informing us ahead of time, you’ll make sure that legitimate transactions using your credit or debit card are not blocked, so you’ll always have access to your money. 

  • Why should I sign up for eStatements over traditional paper statements?

    Unlike regular paper statements, eStatements are available instantly. There’s no chance they will get lost in the mail, and you do not need to worry about misplacing them — they’re always available online. They’re also searchable, which makes it easier to find specific transactions. In addition, eStatements save paper, making them more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

  • Is it possible to set up card alerts and notifications using Online or Mobile Banking?

    No, while you can track card activity using Online and Mobile Banking, you currently need to use the LCU Card App to set up card alerts and notifications. This functionality will be coming soon to Listerhill’s Online and Mobile Banking services.

  • Can the LCU Card App be used for both credit cards and debit cards?

    Yes, the LCU Card App is designed to allow you to monitor and manage multiple cards, including both credit and debit cards.

  • What is the difference between Listerhill Online and Mobile Banking, and the LCU Card App?

    Listerhill Online and Mobile Banking lets you access information about your card balances and transactions (once you have added your card details). The LCU Card App also lets you track card spending, but also allows you to add notifications and alerts, enable transaction alerts, view recent and pending transactions, and instantly lock or unlock cards.
