When you start saving for retirement early, you give your funds more time to grow through the power of compounding interest.<\/p>\n<p>On average, Americans think they&#8217;ll need over $1 million to retire comfortably, according to Bankrate. They also plan to work until they turn 65, on average, per Northwestern Mutual&#8217;s 2023 &#8220;Planning and Progress&#8221; study.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, CNBC calculated how much you would need to set aside each month in order to retire with $2 million at 65, starting at ages 21, 25 and 30. Note that these calculations assume a beginning balance of $0 and don&#8217;t account for common life events such as promotions, layoffs or market volatility.<\/p>\n<p>Since experts generally recommend saving 15% of your annual income for retirement, CNBC also calculated the income you&#8217;d need to earn in order to reach a savings rate of 10% and 15%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"ArticleBody-styles-makeit-subtitle--JP3GH\">If you start at 21<\/h2>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>Earning a 3% annual rate of return: <strong>$1,822 per month<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 10% of your income: $218,651<\/li>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 15% of your income: $145,767<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Earning a 5% annual rate of return: <strong>$1,039 per month<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 10% of your income: $124,733<\/li>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 15% of your income: $83,155<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Earning a 7% annual rate of return: <strong>$564 per month<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 10% of your income: $67,683<\/li>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 15% of your income: $45,122<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Earning a 10% annual rate of return: <strong>$209 per month<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 10% of your income: $25,114<\/li>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 15% of your income: $16,743<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"ArticleBody-styles-makeit-subtitle--JP3GH\">If you start at 25<\/h2>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>Earning a 3% annual rate of return: <strong>$2,154 per month<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 10% of your income: $258,516<\/li>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 15% of your income: $172,344<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Earning a 5% annual rate of return: <strong>$1,305 per month<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 10% of your income: $156,619<\/li>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 15% of your income: $104,413<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Earning a 7% annual rate of return: <strong>$758 per month<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 10% of your income: $90,905<\/li>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 15% of your income: $60,603<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Earning a 10% annual rate of return: <strong>$314 per month<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 10% of your income: $37,637<\/li>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 15% of your income: $25,091<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"ArticleBody-styles-makeit-subtitle--JP3GH\">If you start at 30<\/h2>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>Earning a 3% annual rate of return: <strong>$2,690 per month<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 10% of your income: $322,833<\/li>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 15% of your income: $215,222<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Earning a 5% annual rate of return: <strong>$1,753 per month<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 10% of your income: $210,374<\/li>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 15% of your income: $140,249<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Earning a 7% annual rate of return: <strong>$1,104 per month<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 10% of your income: $132,482<\/li>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 15% of your income: $88,322<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Earning a 10% annual rate of return: <strong>$522 per month<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 10% of your income: $62,691<\/li>\n<li>Annual salary needed if you save 15% of your income: $41,794<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not everyone is aiming to retire as a millionaire, but it&#8217;s important to have an idea of how much you&#8217;ll need to cover your expenses after you stop working.
