14 Healthcare costs and its effects on retirement
Life Expectancy Probabilities Plan for longevity Average life expectancy continues to increase and is a mid-point not an end-point. You may need to plan on the probability of living much longer perhaps 30+ years in retirement and invest a portion of your portfolio for growth to maintain your purchasing power over time. Chart: Social Security Administration, Period Life Table, 2013 (published in 2016), J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Table: Social Security Administration 2016 OASDI Trustees Report. Probability at least one member of a same-sex female couple lives to age 90 is 55% and a same-sex male couple is 39%.
Income Replacement Needs In Retirement Retired Worker Age 65, 2015 Earnings Level Low $20,830 Medium $46,290 High $74,060 Maximum Taxable $112,090 Social Security Replacement Level 53% $11,120 40% $18,320 33% $24,290 26% $29,420 1.

Income Replacement Needs Vary by Household Income Spending needs by income Estimated income replacement needs range from 70%-80% depending on pre-retirement household income. The more you earn, the more of your income you will be responsible for providing as Social Security replaces less. Source: J.P. Morgan Asset Management analysis, 2016. Household income replacement rates are derived from an inflation-adjusted analysis of: Consumer Expenditure Survey (BLS) data (2011-2014); Social Security benefits using modified scaled earnings in 2016 for a single wage earner at age 65 and a spousal benefit at age 62 reduced by Medicare Part B premiums; and 2016 OASDI and FICA taxes. The income replacement needs may be lower for households in which both spouses are working and the second spouse s individual benefits are greater than their spousal benefit. Single household income replacement needs may vary as spending is typically less than a two-spouse household; however, the loss of the Social Security spousal benefit may offset the spending reduction. Percentages and values may not sum due to rounding.
Income Replacement Needs Vary by Household Income A growing concern Given variation in health care cost inflation from year to year, it may be prudent to assume an annual health care inflation rate of 6.5%, which may require growth as well as current income from your portfolio in retirement. Notes: Age 85 estimated total median cost in 2017 is $7,195. Medigap premiums usually increase due to age, in addition to annual inflation, except for most policies in the following states: AR, CT, MA, ME, MN, NY, VT WA, AZ, FL, ID and MO. Analysis includes Medigap Plan F (the most comprehensive plan). Parts B and D additional premiums are calculated from federal tax returns two years prior; individuals may file for an exception on form SSA-44 if they reduce or stop work. For the definition of MAGI, please see Guide to Retirement slide 36. *Additional premium includes a projection of 2018 costs for a 65-year-old beneficiary in 2018 ($5,076), plus the surcharge percentage specified in the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA / doc fix bill ).
