Question 1

Is this traditional IRA tax deductibility included?

Accepted Answer

No. This estimator focuses on growth math only. Tax effects depend on eligibility, income, and current rules, which vary by year.

Question 2

Does this assume withdrawals before retirement?

Accepted Answer

No. The projection assumes no withdrawals during the years you select. If you plan withdrawals, model them separately using a different approach.

Question 3

How should I choose an assumed return rate?

Accepted Answer

Use a reasonable planning assumption and stress-test with lower and higher rates. Actual returns vary and your risk profile matters.
