Each year: withdrawal is taken at the start of the year, then the remaining balance grows by the expected return. The 4% rule is based on the Trinity Study — a portfolio of 50% stocks / 50% bonds sustained a 4% inflation-adjusted withdrawal for 30 years in the vast majority of historical scenarios. Actual market returns are variable; consider a Monte Carlo simulation for a full risk picture.
