Where you decide to retire might have a big impact on how long your retirement money lasts, according to new data from GOBankingRates.

On average, GOBankingRates estimates that $1 million in savings will last about 19 years in the US. In some places, those savings will cover many fewer years: Those retiring in expensive states like Hawaii can expect their $1 million of savings to last 10 years and three months from their retirement funds, while those in California will see 13 years.

Meanwhile, $1 million in retirement savings will last at least 21 years for every state in the list below.

To find this data, GOBankingRates looked at the total annual expenses of people 65 and older, including housing, transportation, healthcare, utilities, and groceries, as well as a cost of living index. Dividing $1 million by the annual cost of living then yielded the years those retirement savings could last.
