What is Last Calculator?
Last Calculator is a free online tool that helps you estimate how long your savings will last given your current spending habits. You input your total savings, monthly expenses, and any regular income, and the calculator projects when you might run out of money. This is useful for understanding your financial runway, whether you're planning early retirement, taking a career break, or managing a period of reduced income. The tool provides a straightforward way to test different scenarios; you can adjust your savings amount or monthly spend to see how changes affect your timeline.
