Then I pass +25%

if i'm not mistaken, those formulas shared by Gark-san is just the AVERAGE JOE expectations.
U want to be wealthy? Need to be XX% above those
1.49 based on The Millionaire Next Door & the following book (Stop Acting Rich & Start living like a real millionaire... or something like that

) if i'm not mistaken
eg. average = 10% savings
above average >=20% savings
Since U are an Excel wielder, i think it'll be better if U do:
a. each row = 1 year
b. Columns = Gross pay per year, XX% savings yearly injection, Accumulated Savings *(1+8% as returns) +new yearly injection
c. play with the xx% to see the last row (ie. up to your last year's pay) VS your net worth
Draft idea above yar - hehe, mine waaay too detailed to share as i even track EPF from employer and windfalls
Thus i can compare whether i'm saving how much % in long term effectively and safely extrapolate how much i'd be able to allocate for future goals (kids' Uni, partner's bucket list, etc.)
Just a thought
