IMPORTANT ASSUMPTIONS
Market Realities & Retirement Projections
Calculations provided on this site are designed to help Massport employees conceptualize their retirement timeline. However, financial planning is not a static process. These projections rely on historical averages and specific inputs that are subject to change over time.
Market Volatility
Investment returns are never guaranteed to be linear. Our estimators use a fixed rate of return for simplicity, but actual market performance fluctuates, which can drastically alter the final outcome of your savings plan.
Tax Law Changes
Pension taxation and Social Security benefit structures are controlled by legislation. Policy shifts or changes in federal tax codes can impact your net retirement income in ways that cannot be perfectly predicted.
Disclaimer: This website is an independent educational resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport). All estimates are for illustrative purposes and do not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice. We strongly recommend consulting with a certified professional before taking action based on these projections.
Inflation & Purchasing Power
The cost of living 20 years from now will likely be higher than today. If your retirement income does not outpace inflation, your purchasing power will decline, potentially requiring higher savings targets than projected.
Input Accuracy
The results of our tools are only as accurate as the data you provide. Salary changes, years of service gaps, or earlier-than-expected retirement will significantly impact the estimated pension and benefit totals.
