You now have the ability to customize the order of your retirement withdrawals in Planner Plus.

Customize your withdrawals per account based on when you expect make withdrawals and better manage your tax brackets in retirement.

Assumptions

Withdrawal Order is scenario-specific and individual scenarios can have different orders or can have traditional order. A traditional withdrawal order is a sequence of withdrawals that prioritizes withdrawing from after-tax accounts first.

Our traditional withdrawal order satisfies all Required Minimum Distributions.

Our planner forecasts withdrawals in the following order:

  1. After-tax accounts

  2. Reverse mortgage equity

  3. Pre-tax accounts

  4. Roth accounts

  5. Health savings accounts
