Expenses and Taxes
The Planner automatically computes taxes based upon income and single or married filing jointly filing status. The taxes represented in this chart are the prior year’s estimated tax liability. You may view discrete expense and tax information for the year in the Insights > Income and Expenses > Estimated Expenses Chart.
Savings Drawdowns
Savings drawdowns are calculated as the remaining income needed to cover expenses, after accounting for the other income streams. The Planner automatically models a traditional withdrawal strategy.
Deficit
If you don't have enough savings, you will instead display a deficit.
