Clarification

[sebvad]

Main page of firecalc asks for 3 things:
Spending:
Portfolio:
Years:

Does Portfolio mean the value of the portfolio NOW, or the anticipated value at the point of retirement? Ie, if the total portfolio now is 500,000, but i don't plan on drawing on it for 25 years, at which point the projected value is 3-3.5mm - which # do i enter?

Enter your current portfolio value. As you go through the tabs the program will ask you about future contributions and what year you plan to retire.
