No -- the final numbers for the core calculations won't be abailable until late in the year.

But keep in mind that since FIRECalc is watching for worst case situations, additional years of data will make no significant change in the outcomes, unless those years were so bad for the market that otherwise successful retirement scenarios go bankrupt.

Isn't it likely that SWR's for ~40 year periods get slightly worse as we include 1966, 67, 68...?

I know that at one time I was blissfully unaware of that rough patch when running 50+ years retirements.
