📖 Methodology & Guidance

Inputs: Your current household income (primary + spouse), expected retirement income, spending needs, and account balances across Taxable, Tax-Deferred, and Roth accounts.

Outputs: A personalized withdrawal sequence based on your income level — whether you’re a high earner now (draw Tax-Deferred first) or lower-income (draw Taxable first for 0% capital gains).

How to use: Enter both earners’ incomes to determine your combined household tax bracket. The calculator compares your current bracket to expected retirement bracket to recommend the most tax-efficient withdrawal order. High earners benefit from Tax-Deferred first (filling the standard deduction at 0%), while lower-income retirees may qualify for 0% capital gains on taxable withdrawals.
