Scenario Assumptions

When you build a plan with Boldin it will only have one scenario and you may add up to 9 additional scenarios. You may re- assign a new scenario as your baseline, however you must always have one baseline scenario. If you would like to delete all of your data and go through the initial onboarding process again, please send a message to the Services Team and they will reset your plan for you.

Creating Additional Scenarios

Once you’ve created a solid baseline plan, you might want to compare plan outcomes for a few scenarios by adjusting variables that are important to you.

Common variables include: retirement date, longevity age, work income , rate of return, Social Security claiming date, monthly or lump sum pension, Roth conversion strategy.

All of these changes may have significant impacts on your Plan Health, cash flow, taxes, Net Worth, and other factors.

Creating a scenario saves the alternate plan and allows you to evaluate all of these areas. You may create and compare scenarios via the Scenario Manager located below My Plan.

Follow these steps to create and manage your scenarios:

STEP 1: Head over to the Scenario Manager

STEP 2: Press "Add a New Scenario" Give your new scenario a descriptive name and add any notes.

STEP 3: Press “Import Data From” and Select the plan you wish to copy and press “Create New Scenario.”

STEP 4: To make your modifications, Press the scenario name to activate the scenario OR press the pencil icon to edit the scenario. Navigate over to MyPlan and make the relevant changes.

STEP 5: Press the Star Icon if you wish to make the new scenario your baseline Plan

STEP 6: You also have the ability to compare scenarios using the comparison feature.


Demonstration

Managing data between scenarios

Please be aware that some data such as account information and primary residence information are shared across plan scenarios.

This means when you make a change to these areas in one scenario, the change will be reflected in all scenarios.
