The real rate adjusts returns for inflation, and n is total retirement years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 4% Safe Withdrawal Rule?
The 4% rule suggests that withdrawing 4% of your portfolio in year one of retirement and adjusting for inflation each subsequent year provides high probability of not running out of money over 30 years.
Why does early retirement dramatically increase corpus requirements?
Retiring early extends the number of non-earning retirement years your nest egg must sustain, while cutting short peak compounding years.
