“Number go up” is not a retirement strategy. Long-term planning needs explicit assumptions, clear knobs to turn, and a way to translate a BTC balance into annual spending power.

CryptoSlate’s Bitcoin retirement calculator does exactly that, marrying a transparent price path with macro toggles and two spending frameworks so you can think in dollars, years, and probabilities, not vibes.

What the calculator does

• Estimates your BTC at retirement, based on what you hold today plus what you plan to add each year.
• Projects a BTC price at your retirement year under Base, Bull, and Bear scenarios.
• Converts that to portfolio value, then to annual spending using two methods:
  • Equal slice: An even split of your portfolio across your retirement years.
  • Safe Withdrawal Rate: Often set near 4 percent, which targets sustainable spending adjusted for inflation.
• Lets you toggle macro events that often drive BTC cycles, such as ETF flows, regulation, global liquidity, miner policy, and more.

Key terms, quick definitions

• SWR, Safe Withdrawal Rate, is a rule of thumb for how much you can spend from a portfolio each year while aiming to preserve purchasing power
• SWF, Sovereign Wealth Fund, a state-owned fund investing national savings or resource revenues, which may hold gold, bonds, equities, or, if policy allows, BTC
• Macro multipliers, the model’s way to reflect real-world tailwinds and headwinds without pretending to predict exact dates
