This study updates previous estimates by the Employee Benefit Research Institute on the savings needed to cover health insurance premiums and health care expenses in retirement. Like EBRI’s study of individuals retiring in 2016 (Fronstin and VanDerhei, 2017), this analysis finds that savings targets for a retiring 65-year-old increased, with the increase as high as 6 percent in 2017, relative to the targets for a 65-year-old retiring in 2016. This Notes article discusses the model, the savings targets, and reasons for the recent increase in savings targets. >> Download PDF
