The inflation rate has come down from the highs of 2022, but it remains a real concern. If you're retired and living off investment income, you may worry about whether your plan can withstand higher prices—and how inflation might impact your lifestyle.

Because financial plans account for different possibilities, they are designed to withstand economic shifts. Fidelity’s retirement analysis in the Planning & Guidance Center assumes 2.5% inflation when assessing retirement goals. If you expect long-term inflation to be higher, you can adjust your plan accordingly.

The Retirement Guidebook: From Planning Your Retirement to Enjoying It helps at every stage—whether you're in your 40s just starting to plan, in your 60s nearing retirement, or in your 70s navigating longer-than-expected retirement years.
