S & O 500 and dividends

Dory,

If I have a portfolio of 100% S&P 500 and I'm retired and I'm withdrawing money from my portfolio, does FireCALC apply the dividends from the S&P 500 first before reducing the holdings. Or are S&P 500 dividends ignored?

Thanks - FireCALC is just about the best app I've come across on the web.

Dividends are added back to the portfolio.

Glad it has been helpful!
