How Much Should I Plan For Retirement? 
Only you can answer that question . Figure your fixed costs after retirement , your plans -LRB- do you plan to travel ? -RRB- , and other individual factors . Also deduct out social security if you want to figure out how much additional savings you need to meet your goal . My opinion is at least 80 % of current income on average but that is not written in stone , every case is different . Sit down with a good agent familiar with retirement planning . He or she can help you put together a good plan for a comfortable retirement .
