There are differences between target income and projected income
Target income is how much annual income you think you’ll need to maintain your lifestyle when you retire. It’s calculated as a percentage of your current income. You generally need to replace 70% of your current income. It’s up to you to decide whether 70% of your income will be enough for you to do everything you want in retirement.
Projected income is how much annual income you’ll receive when you retire. It’s calculated based on a few assumptions described on the Calculation assumptions page. Results are expressed in today’s dollars, pre-tax.
Your investment instructions must correspond to you investor profile
Your investment instructions tell us how you want to invest the contributions in your retirement savings plan. They should reflect your savings goals, personal situation and risk tolerance. To determine your risk tolerance, complete the Your investor profile questionnaire. Once you know what your investor profile is, you’ll be able to provide us with instructions that are in line with your needs.
