Common questions

Everything families ask about retirement, 529s, and building wealth.

How much should I save in a 529 plan? +

A good target is to have enough saved by age 18 to cover the full cost of college. For a public in-state university that's roughly $120,000–$160,000 in today's dollars; private universities run $250,000–$320,000. NestPlan projects your 529 balance at college age based on current savings, monthly contributions, and a 7% investment return, then compares it against costs adjusted for college inflation (historically ~5.6%/year).

How much do I need to retire? +

The standard rule is 25× your annual retirement spending — based on the 4% safe withdrawal rate. If you plan to spend $100,000/year, you need $2.5M. NestPlan calculates your personal target from your desired income, Social Security estimate, pension, tax rate, and withdrawal rate preference, then shows exactly how far your current savings rate will take you.

What is a good net worth by age? +

Common benchmarks: 1× your annual income saved by 30, 3× by 40, 6× by 50, 8× by 60. NestPlan uses a 10-level system tied to your actual income — so a household earning $150k has different milestones than one earning $300k. It shows exactly where you stand and what it takes to reach the next level.

What is the 4% rule for retirement? +

The 4% rule states that you can safely withdraw 4% of your portfolio in year one of retirement, then adjust for inflation each year — and your money will last 30+ years with high probability. It implies a savings target of 25× your annual expenses. NestPlan applies this automatically and lets you adjust the rate (3%–5%) based on your risk tolerance and retirement length.

What is a 529 plan and how does it work? +

A 529 is a tax-advantaged account for education savings. Contributions grow tax-free and withdrawals for qualified expenses (tuition, books, room and board) are also tax-free. Many states offer additional state tax deductions on contributions. You can open one for each child and change beneficiaries freely. NestPlan tracks each child's balance separately and shows whether you're on track by the time they start college.

Is NestPlan really free? +

Yes — completely free. No subscription, no premium tier, no credit card. Sign in with Google to save your plan securely across devices, or explore the full tool in demo mode without creating an account.
