So, the 'free' version of Firecalc is just one of a couple of estimates we have done to see if our savings will last into retirement, along with SS and our pensions.
But, Firecalc doesn't seem to model taxes, or allocations of assets vs taxes (after tax, tax deferred, tax free) -and taxes weigh heavily on my mind as a significant factor for how assets are drawn down and in what allocations over time.
Nor does Firecalc model RMD and how that impacts remaining assets - as far as I know.
I have my own 'model' and that accounts for taxes, allocations, RMDs, but is static in what real return to plug in for the duration under consideration.
What other tools have you used to model your retirement?
Thanks!
