How to Calculate Your Passive Income Goal

The required portfolio size equals your annual income goal divided by your expected return rate. For example, to generate $2,000/month ($24,000/year) at a 7% return, you need approximately $342,857 invested.

The time-to-goal calculation compounds your current savings and monthly contributions at your chosen return rate until the portfolio reaches the required amount.
