Why Catch-Up Planning is Vital for Female Investors

Research consistently shows that women, on average, tend to retire with less savings than men. This is often due to career interruptions (e.g., childcare, elder care) and the persistent gender wage gap. Using a tool like this is essential to address the shortfall proactively.

Financial Planning Implications:

• **Aggressive Modeling:** This calculator often reveals a higher-than-expected required contribution, which forces a realistic assessment of aggressive savings goals or a revision of the retirement target.
• **Prioritizing Savings:** Knowing the exact figure allows users to adjust their budget—perhaps by utilizing the high "catch-up" contribution limits available in certain retirement accounts (like 401(k)s or IRAs in some systems).
• **Power of Compounding:** The calculation correctly accounts for the future growth of your existing savings, highlighting the compounding effect even when starting later.
