The Income vs Expenses calculation is based on an average calculation from retirement age through longevity age and a 4% withdrawal from your assets.

Your estimated average retirement income is based on your earnings from Work, Passive, Social Security, Annuity, and Pension sources from retirement age to longevity age plus a “safe” 4% savings drawdown rate. This does included any RMDs represented in your plan. The amount is shown in today’s dollars.

Your estimated average retirement expenses are based on the expenses you enter in your plan, under the inflation assumptions in your plan, and the other items we calculate such as income taxes and IRMAA given your plan specifics such as marital status, savings drawdowns, and deductible expenses.
