Calculate monthly retirement income from retirement portfolios, comparing both the safe withdrawal rate and the annuity.

How to calculate monthly pension from retirement portfolio

Monthly pensions from retirement portfolios can be calculated in two main ways, each with different pros and cons.

Safe Withdrawal Rate

Monthly income = portfolio × (withdrawal rate ÷ 100) ÷ 12
Example: Port 5,000,000 baht × 4% ÷ 12 = 16,667 baht/month
Pros: No capital exhaustion, growth, high security.

Annuity

Monthly income = port × r ÷ [1 - (1+r)^(-n)]
Where r = monthly return rate, n = total number of months
Pros: higher income than Safe Rate, but capital will run out on time.

Frequently asked questions

How is the monthly pension from the retirement portfolio calculated?
There are two main methods: 1) Safe Withdrawal Rate: Multiply the portfolio by the safe withdrawal rate (e. g. 4%) divided by 12 months and the principal remains constant. 2) Annuity: Calculate the monthly withdrawals that make the portfolio run out just in time for the specified lifetime, which gives higher income but the principal runs out over time.
How do Safe Rate and Annuity differ?
Safe Rate is for those who want to keep a legacy. Money doesn't run out and continues to grow, but monthly income is lower than Annuity. It's for those who want maximum income and don't worry about legacy. Money runs out just in time.
How much does a 5 million baht retiree get in pension?
With the Safe Rate 4%: 5,000,000 × 4% ÷ 12 = 16,667 baht/month Annuity type 25 Years of return 5%: approximately 29,000 baht/month which is higher than the Safe Rate but the principal will expire after 25 years
How many years should be taken into account in calculating the annuity?
It is recommended to use 25-30 years after retirement (retirement 60 → calculate 85-90 years) to prevent the risk of overliving. Some use 35 years for maximum precaution.

  1. Build a baseline monthly pension case with figures that match your situation.
  2. Run a second monthly pension case after changing the rate, period, quantity or other key assumption.
  3. Record the difference between the two monthly pension results and the input responsible for it.

Inputs for the monthly pension estimate
