Optimizing Savings for College and Retirement
The Johnsons, earning $450,000 annually and with $2.1M in retirement savings, felt constrained by their current savings rate. They were unsure if they were maximizing their savings potential given their income level and significant upcoming expenses related to college tuition and maintaining their desired lifestyle. They lacked a clear understanding of how incremental income changes impacted their savings behavior.
Using the MPS Calculator, we analyzed the Johnsons' historical income and savings data to determine their Marginal Propensity to Save. The calculator revealed that for every additional dollar earned, they were only saving $0.20. By consciously increasing their savings rate from 20% to 23%, they could save an additional $13,500 annually, significantly boosting their college funds and retirement contributions. Further analysis, combined with the Debt-to-Asset Ratio calculator, helped them reallocate existing investments to further accelerate their financial goals.
We utilized the MPS Calculator with 3 years of the Johnsons' income and savings data, sourced from their tax returns and investment statements. Results were then visualized and integrated into their financial plan.
$67,500 increase in savings over 5 years, accelerating college fund growth and retirement readiness.
