Change any number, in any year, and see where it takes you

Click a year on the chart and edit what happens then. Here Devon quits at 38, takes $45k from savings, and earns $48k for three years. The years after that recalculate, including the 401(k) match that stops and the contributions that pick back up at 41.

A change made in one year carries forward from that year. Earlier years stay as they were.
