Retirement Spending Report

Understanding Your Retirement Spending Report

Will I Be Okay in Retirement?

Your personalized Retirement Spending Report (RSR) gives you the big picture on where you will be tomorrow, based on where you are today.

Wellspring Financial Partners takes your unique data from your retirement account and combines it with your salary data to create an estimate of what your retirement income might look like. We also provide suggestions on spending and savings to demonstrate how your retirement savings stack up to the rest of your company and the nation.

This service is available if your employer uses Wellspring Financial Partners as their Plan Advisor.
If your employer doesn’t provide a Retirement Spending Report, encourage them to contact Wellspring Financial Partners, and show them a sample!

401k Savings Comparison

The green bar on the left shows what you have saved in your company’s retirement plan.

Spending Quick Check

This page gets you in the mindset to think of the value of a day’s work before you go shopping. Do you want to spend the money on something you don’t need or save that hard-earned money to put towards something better later down the road? This type of thinking can help you be in control of your spending.

Spending Ability Today Versus in Retirement

Maintaining your standard of living in retirement is an important consideration. This page of the RSR shows your spending ability today, based on your provided salary information, as well as your projected spending ability in retirement. This estimate adjusts for inflation and assumes you will retire at 67 and live until the age of 100. Included in this projection are your 401(k) balance, your future 401(k) contributions, your future employer contributions, and your Social Security. This report helps you determine if you should add more to your 401k.

What's Next?

This page helps you think about the next steps you can take to increase your retirement savings and have more money available post-retirement. We may recommend increasing your contribution to your 401k or, if you are already saving enough, making an appointment to create a financial plan.
