How to calculate a drawdown

Withdrawing money from a retirement portfolio must balance the current life and the long-term preservation of money. This calculator uses Real Return to provide accurate results.

The real return formula.

Real return = (1 + portfolio return) ÷ (1 + inflation) - 1
Example: Return 5% Inflation 3% → Real Return ≈ 1.94% per year

Finding the number of years that money can last.

Calculated by simulating annual totals: capital increases as portfolio returns subtracted by annual withdrawals (annually inflated) until totals reach 0

Frequently asked questions

What is the drawdown rate?
Drawdown Rate is the percentage of the portfolio withdrawn per year. For example, a portfolio of 5 million baht drawdown 4% = 200,000 baht/year or 16,667 baht/month. The safe withdrawal rate depends on the retirement period and the return of the portfolio.
How much is a reasonable monthly retirement?
The worldwide Safe Withdrawal Rate is based on 4% per year for retirement 30 years, but if retirement is longer or you want more security, we recommend 3-3.5% per year, which is equivalent to withdrawing portfolio 10 million baht 25,000-29,000 baht/month.
How does inflation affect retirement?
Inflation reduces the purchasing power of withdrawn money. If inflation is 3% per year, money 30,000 baht today will buy the same thing as 14,832 baht in another 23 year. Calculations using real returns (deducting inflation) will give a more accurate picture.
What should you invest in retirement?
After retirement, portfolios should be adjusted to lower risk, focusing more on debt securities, debt-aggregated funds and regular deposits. Some still invest in equities to support long-term inflation. The popular ratio is 40% equities / 60% debt securities.
Disclaimer: The calculations are estimates only. Actual returns and inflation may differ. They are not financial advice.
