I copied what you've written and pasted it below - at present, it's not an appropriate form for a Wikipedia article

[edit] Retirement calculation

How much of my pay do I need to save so that I'll have an adequate pension? Many retirement calculators exist on the Web to help answer this common and important question, though some have serious flaws to be discussed here. Traditionally, this is an actuarial calculation as described in actuarial textbooks

^{[1] [2]}

However, the ready availability to everyone of computing power has made it easier for everyone to perform their own approximate calculations. There are, however, many opportunities for serious error.

It is possible to do get the most important results of this calculation using graphs, as we will see. In particular, if investment returns equal salary rises in the accumulation phase, then the 'after-inflation' graph of accumulating savings is a straight line. And if the after-retirement investment returns equal the rate of price inflation, then the drawdown of savings is a straight line in real terms.

Hi Keith, yes, it was removed as part of the new pages patrol. What I would suggest is, if you want to work this into a decent Wikipedia article (firstly I would suggest you try and incorporate the information into say, Retirement planning) but if you think it needs its own article, work on it in your userspace first, and then you can copy/paste it into the mainspace when it is a complete article. (To edit your userspace, just go to User:Keith1952 or say User:Keith1952/Retirement calculation Thank you for not getting discouraged at the quick removal of your article, and feel free to let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. xenocidic (talk) 13:53, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Retirement savings rate if point 996% real.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Retirement savings rate if point 996% real.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:11, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
