How Much You ACTUALLY Need To Retire In 2026 [New Tool]

About this episode

Most Kiwis have never seen their entire financial life on one screen. Wealth rises while they work, then draws down through retirement. So, how much do you actually need to retire in 2026, and could you already have saved too much?

In this episode, Ed and Andrew run a real couple's numbers through a new tool to reveal what it really takes.

You'll learn:

How much do you actually need to retire in 2026
How to tell if you've already saved too much
The one screen that shows you your entire financial life

The years you can best enjoy your money are often the ones people spend working. Knowing your number is how you get them back.

Want to find out how much you'll need to save each week until retirement? Use our retirement calculator to find out.

Ok, now for the legal bit:

The Property Academy Podcast is for your general information. It’s not financial advice.

So the hosts aren’t telling you what to do with your own money. We’ve made every effort to make sure the information is accurate. But we occasionally get the odd fact wrong.

Make sure you do your own research or talk to a financial adviser before making any investment decisions.
