Health Care Now Costs Couples $300,000 in Retirement, According to Fidelity’s Latest Estimate

A 65-year-old couple retiring this year can expect to spend a combined $300,000 on health care costs in retirement, according to Fidelity’s annual Retiree Health Care Cost Estimate released last week.
While that’s up just 1.7% from last year’s estimate of $295,000, the relatively small jump is no consolidation for pre-retirees, who can expect health care spending to represent about 15% of their annual expenditures, Fidelity says.
