It looks like that last column (additional withdrawal w/taxes) doesn't get populated in years before retirement has started. I'll have to look into the code to see why, but I believe this is only a problem with the output and not a problem with the simulation engine. I'm pretty confident that the fu...

Paul, What you've described certainly seems counter-intuitive. I assume you've verified that the simulation is doing what you expect in terms of withdrawals by looking at the year-by-year detailed results. You might try setting the spending policy to Stable, just to make sure that this setting isn't...

This usually means that either you've disabled or restricted Java in the browser or that your Java installation has somehow become corrupted.

Ted, Thanks for all this great feedback. Please see comments below. This ought to keep me out of trouble for a while... Jim 1) Minor UI issue - On the Mac version, the Summary View shows the Spending Policy menu and the Config button slightly cropped at the bottom. I think a little margin would fix ...

Hello, The Flexible Retirement Planner web applet has been updated to a new version as of today. This new version has the same underlying simulation engine as before, but has undergone some GUI revamping and some under-the-hood changes to get ready for the FRP standalone application . If for some re...

Please feel free to post questions and comments about the planner here. You might want to try using the forum search feature to see if someone has already asked a question similar to yours.
