          (As a general rule of thumb, you'll need 60%-80% of your pre-retirement income
        after you retire to live the same lifestyle you're living today)
   
      5. Do you expect to receive some of this income from a
        company pension plan?
Yes No    
          Typically, the breakdown between these sources are as follows: If you answered Yes to the
        above, the calculation will assume that you need 40% from your RSP, 30% from your
        Company Pension, and 30% from Government/Other Sources. If you answered No it will
        assume that you will need 70% from your RSP and 30% from Government/Other Sources.
        If you feel that a different breakdown is more appropriate to your circumstances, you can
        change the assumed percentages by entering the new figures in the boxes.
