How does Firecalc handle dividends?
Do I need to list them as income or does Firecalc make an averaged guess based on the portfolio and automatically include them in the results?

FIRECalc uses actual history of market returns, including dividends. Do not list dividend income separately.

This description of how the program works may answer many of your questions: FIRECalc: Why another retirement calculator?
