The 4% Rule is a practical rule of thumb that may be used by retirees to decide how much they should withdraw from their retirement funds each year; according to Investopedia.
The purpose of adopting the rule is to keep a steady income stream while maintaining an adequate overall account balance for future years. The withdrawals will consist primarily of interest and dividends on savings.

CHALLENGE: But, experts like Mike Kitces are divided on whether the 4% withdrawal rate is the best option. Many, including the creator of the rule, say that 5% is a better rule for all but the worst-case scenario.

A deeper look at the 4% rule
The 4% rule states that a person hoping to be retired for the next 30 years could spend 4% of their portfolio in the first year of retirement, with inflation-adjusted withdrawals added to that percentage each following year. It’s just a rough guideline, and it has come under fire recently. What’s more, as Vanguard points out: “the 4% rule didn’t factor investment fees into estimated returns” and “minimizing costs allows for a significantly higher likelihood of success.
