A retirement savings program can be one of the best tools you can use for creating a secure retirement. One of the valuable features of many plans is the Contribution Accelerator option which allows you to increase your contributions consistently and automatically each year. With this feature you don't have to remember to increase your contributions; Contribution Accelerator does it for you, allowing you to build your account balance faster. This calculator helps you project what your savings could be if you were to automatically increase your payroll savings each year using Contribution Accelerator (or manually increasing your contributions each year if you don't have the Contribution Accelerator feature).
