My state pension (AZ) offers a lump sum but it appears to not include my employer contributions and any growth. That’s with 20+ years and 100% vested. Yet the death payout (which is double the amount) seems to match what the lump sum should be. It’s very confusing. I’d consider taking the lump sum for the death benefit payout but not for the pension lump sum payout. To beat the annual pension benefit I’d have to get a guaranteed 12% every year. It has no COLA but expecting 12% returns every year would be ridiculous. The lump sum benefit just makes no sense.

Does this calculator support SEPP 72(t) withdrawals (five years of Substantially Equal Periodic Payments)? I'm two years into a 72(t), so not only do I need support for no-penalty early withdrawals (I'm 57), I need the tool to support back-dating (not just "today, forward" like most other tools), as I started the 72(t) in February of last year (2023). Look forward to following the development of this tool! Thanks.

Does the retirement budget calculator calculate how much you should do in Roth conversions each year?
@RetirementBudgetCalculator3 ай бұрын
The Retirement Budget Calculator includes a Roth conversion module that allows you to run scenarios to evaluate different strategies. Paired with the tax module, you can identify specific years when it may make sense to consider a Roth conversion. By using these two tools together, you can determine the potential amount to convert. The Retirement Budget Calculator does not make recommendations but rather empowers you to make more informed decisions based on your unique financial situation.

@@RetirementBudgetCalculator from all of the "research" I have been doing, I think I'm doing a bit better than most, but still nowhere close to the numbers you are using. maybe because of my modest beginnings, with $3mil+ I wouldn't be watching ANY youtube retirement videos... even with what I do have, I stopped watching your video when you got to the over $3mil net worth part. I simply can't relate. again, I think I'm a bit above average with $720k in 401ks, $150k cash. I do not own a home, but also have zero debt. will also have a modest pension of +/- $2,600 per month, and estimating (from ss website) +/-$3,200 ss for me and my wife together. wife has no other accounts to speak of. I plan to retire in 3 years at 62.5 yrs of age, (hopefully with a bit more than I have today) and try to use the cash for downpayment on fixed mortgage. even still, I think MOST are more like $500k in 401's, and SS. (if that) you will probably get more views in this range, as that's where "most" of us are. if I want to learn about the numbers you're talking about to figure out if I want my second retirement home to be in palm beach or aspen, I will simply look up some robin leach videos.... I mean, good grief! most of us are here looking for help and advice, not fantasy vidoes..... hope you appreciate the constructive criticism. maybe I will watch one of your more helpful videos in the future, but if I had $3mil dollars, I wouldn't need your advice or help...... thanks!

what if your income does NOT have a shortfall relative to your expenses -- can the calculator tell you how much you can elect to withdraw from tax-deferred accounts to reduce future RMDs while staying within specific tax brackets? Do you just have to artificially increase your expenses each year to force a withdrawal and then check the tax display to see if you exceed the bracket and do this year by year?
@RetirementBudgetCalculator5 ай бұрын
The Retirement Budget Calculator determines your portfolio withdrawals based on your expenses. To ensure a specific withdrawal is taken, simply create an expense and set your IRA as the first option in the withdrawal order. Then you can use the tax section to determine your tax bracket.

I like this little video because it shows how you click thru the model and ask/answer questions.

Specifically how create/save base model and the use the scenario and save other models would be helpful. I think that I got a little ahead of myself and did not work hard enough on my base models before doing scenario things.......and things got confusing. This video helped me with the pro version....now I am going back and doing things better. Seems like in your older model you make changes and click on "Future View" to see the results. With the Pro....you click on "Retirement Optimizer"....and that is not crystal clear...and then you need to make sure that the "Strategy eyeballs" are turned off to see the conservative strategy estimates of the model (which is very helpful).That is not crystal clear. I think that I am now going to go back and ask Finn what to do. Just some feedback! OK...Finn is very helpful....I still think that a short video like this ...only using Pro....would be helpful.

My folks retired 5 years ago with about $500K in savings. Their monthly income is about $5K (SS and a small pension). They take 2-3 nice vacations every year, drive a nice car, etc. They have never taken a penny from their savings! So essentially their savings is a BIG emergency fund that will keep growing every year. How do they do it! Simple, they have ZERO DEBT! With no mortgage, no car payment, no credit cards, etc. so they have an amazing retirement! BTW, their investments generate about $30k/yr. in dividends which they reinvest! They could start taking their dividends in cash any time they like to increase their monthly income even more!!!
