The following work helps predict the life expectancy of an individual and how much they will need to save each month in order to live to that age after retirement. People often forget about life after retirement until it’s too late to start saving properly. This project is hoping to bring this idea to people's attention earlier and to make the process easier. The work presented first finds a model to predict that life expectancy and then the creation of a calculator to give the minimum monthly contribution to savings needed to live comfortably in retirement.
