How it works

Living off income

Living off income means having a net worth whose monthly yield pays your expenses without spending the capital. The lower the yield, the more capital you need.

Cautions

Yields vary, there are taxes and inflation erodes income. Use a conservative, after-tax rate and leave a margin: the result is an estimate, not a guarantee.

Formula

C=Ri

How to calculate

C is the capital needed, R the desired monthly income and i the equivalent monthly rate of the yield. What is missing is C minus your current net worth.

Example

With round numbers, so you can check the math:

To receive R$5,000.00 a month with a yield of 10% a year, you need R$627,026.83. With R$100,000.00, R$527,026.83 is missing; today your net worth yields R$797.41 a month.

Frequently asked questions

What yield should I use?

The after-tax yield you realistically expect. The lower the rate, the more capital you need.

Does the income follow inflation?

Only if the investment does. The calculator does not adjust the value; update the desired income from time to time.

Is the capital consumed?

Not in this calculation: the income comes only from the yield and the capital stays intact.
