Select Maximum Retirement Spending Age Range

This feature lets you identify a specific window where you want to maximize your retirement spending. During this period, the algorithm will calculate the maximum amount you can spend each year while still ensuring you meet your desired income levels before and after the window, cover your annual expenses throughout the plan, and achieve your end-of-analysis financial goal. It's about finding those golden years where you can truly live life to the fullest, without compromising your long-term objectives.

Extra Spending

Since Max Spend is designed to draw down your investment accounts to $0 in the most tax-efficient way, it often means increasing your annual spending to ensure all funds are used. Based on your existing and projected expenses and goals, the analysis will calculate how much additional spending can be added on top of your stated expenses. This extra amount is displayed as "Extra Spending."
