As a retiree who has investments that generate taxable income or distributions, I find that if I have a very good year for my investments, my tax bill increases and thus my withdrawal rate increases. And of course, the opposite is true if my investments have a bad year. Of course, if the portfolio value goes up significantly in one year, then I can theoretically take more out that year while keeping the same withdrawal rate.
One reason why I keep track of portfolio value as well as withdrawal rate.
Not really a question, just the way my mind loves to analyse things.
