Really- where did you account for the 185K sitting in his existing retirement account?
Quick calculation I do at 10% return till age 65 shows that 185K becomes a nest-egg of $2+ Million.
Oh wow, you're right. Perhaps I should stop posting at 5:30am :-)
Here's how I got my initial answer in Excel: =PMT(rate, years, pres val, fut val) =PMT(0.1, 25, 185000, 1668750)
Obviously there's a problem there since it came out to $37,349 as the necessary annual payment(contribution).
Still using that $1,668,750 amount as a goal, the OP could actually retire in 18 years at age 58 by putting in $15,000/year. Here's the formula: =FV(rate, years, payment, pres val) =FV(0.1, 18, 15000, 185000) = $1,712,572
Sorry about the mis-information in my earlier post.
As Hohum points out, if you are willing to put off retirement until 65, you could actually stop contributions now and get to $2Million+ with what you have now. Of course this is quite risky to do given you cannot guarantee 10% returns.
