Regardless of your net worth or stage of life, creating a written financial plan is a crucial step in achieving long-term financial security.
Every respected source on financial planning best practices will tell you this, yet, ~80% of households still have no such plan.
That's why The Complete Retirement Planner (TCRP) was created.

TCRP allows anyone to easily create an individualized, comprehensive financial plan for both pre- and post-retirement. Based on the same financial planning
principles used by professional advisers, it provides a detailed year by year roadmap of your financial future that clearly shows the amount of savings needed
for a desired retirement age, the impact of claiming Social Security benefits at different ages, and a necessary annual savings withdrawal rate during retirement.
TCRP solves these riddles for you so that you can plan for retirement with confidence.

TCRP asks the essential questions needed to generate a precise, year by year forecast of your actual need - including both expenses and taxes.
Multiple income sources (e.g., wages, pensions, Social Security), 401k/IRA contributions and investment return rates, and HSA contributions can all
be entered by spouse, by year. Total savings and income are compared to expenses for each year, and non-retirement and retirement savings distributions
are automatically calculated by spouse, by year, when needed. Federal tax deductions and Federal/State tax liability are also shown, by year.

The result is a detailed and eye-opening picture of your financial future showing how much you will be able to save before retirement,
how your savings and income compare to your actual need, and how long your savings will ultimately last during retirement.
Considerable flexibility also allows you to try what-if scenarios, plan for one-time events, and make all desired adjustments quickly and easily.
Relying only on your personal information (not generic assumptions), TCRP provides the most individualized and accurate results possible.

For your security, all of your information remains completely within your control. TCRP is a digital download that you save to your computer so that only you
have access to it. For ease of use, it operates using Microsoft Excel, for either PCs or Macs. Please Note - a full (paid) version of Excel (2016 or later) is required.
TCRP will not work with the free online version of Excel, or other Excel "apps" (e.g., Numbers, Google Sheets, Libre Office) as they do not support all Excel functions.
TCRP is updated annually (in January) with any tax law changes and new features, and existing customers may purchase updated versions for only $12.99.

TCRP is a unique retirement planning tool that incorporates technical and educational features that simply won't be found elsewhere.
• Interview style questions, with explanatory notes, easily guide you through the set-up, providing an unparalleled ease of use.
• Clear educational notes on complex topics (e.g., Medicare costs, tax laws, Social Security benefits) help to inform you.
• Flexibility in entering variable income, expenses, investment returns, savings, and one time events allows for individual needs.
• Critical variables that are often ignored by other planning tools, but have a big impact on results, are accounted for (listed below).
• A high level of clarity and detail in the results provides transparency into how it all works from start to finish, making it truly "complete".

These are the combined features that set TCRP apart from all other retirement planning tools:
• Entries by spouse (if married) for:
- Multiple sources of annual income (e.g., wages, pensions, non-taxable).
- Non-retirement cash and investment savings balances and expected interest/return rates for before and after retirement.
- Retirement savings balances, contributions, and expected annual return rates.
- HSA balances and annual contributions.
- Desired retirement age and Social Security claiming age.
Entering this information by spouse provides a great deal of flexibility and is essential for accuracy!

• Itemize current and future expenses, and how those amounts may change over different time frames. This determines actual need, by year.
- Eligible HSA expenses are paid directly from HSA savings (if available), starting at each spouse's desired age.
- For greater accuracy, fixed expenses (e.g., mortgage principal/interest, auto/general loans) are not inflation adjusted! This detail is significant.

• Annual tax deductions for mortgage interest and property taxes are calculated automatically for up to three properties.
- Specify if a mortgage will be paid off early, or a property sold, to automatically adjust your total expenses and tax deductions from that year forward.
- Mortgage and real estate tax information for future home purchases may also be entered.

• Easily model Sequence of Returns Risk by entering varying investment return rates for retirement savings, by year, by spouse.
Most planning tools default to using the same rate of return for every year, which can easily produce unrealistic and misleading results.

• Social Security benefits, including Spousal benefits (if married), Survivor benefits (if desired), and annual Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA's) are
automatically calculated for each year based on your chosen claiming age(s). You can even adjust the COLA % and/or turn off Spousal benefits. Flexibility!
- Enter different claiming ages, by spouse, to instantly see the long-term impact on your total retirement results, and to optimize your Social Security income!

• To assist with understanding Social Security claiming options, there is a built in Social Security calculator.
- See an overview of common benefit options, and use the calculator to quickly model monthly and lifetime benefit results, by spouse, by claiming age.

• If married, a life expectancy age may be entered for either spouse.
- The surviving spouse's Social Security income and Federal tax filing status automatically recalculate as of that age.
It is important to be aware of the impact these changes may have on the surviving spouse's long-term results.

• Federal taxes on income, taxable distributions, and Social Security (different tax laws) are calculated by year rather than using a single rate for all years/income types.
- An effective rate for State income tax may also be entered, along with tax deductions for mortgage interest, real estate taxes, State income/sales tax, charity,
and medical costs, completing the picture of total tax liability. This is crucial, as taxes can have a significant impact on how long your savings may last.

• Help with estimating health care costs in retirement, as well as an automatic alert if you may be affected by IRMAA (possibly causing higher Medicare costs).

• The ability to enter a General inflation rate, and a separate Health Care inflation rate.
- The General rate applies to most expenses, but not to fixed expenses (e.g., mortgage principal/interest, auto loans) to prevent artificially inflating those expenses.
- The Health Care rate applies to designated health care expenses that historically experience higher inflation than core expenses.
No other planning tool does this, and it has a huge effect on results.

• Required Minimum Distributions (RMD's) from retirement savings are calculated automatically, year by year, by spouse, using the I.R.S. divisor schedule.

• In any year that net income is greater than expenses a minimum of 25% of the excess is saved (to be conservative) and is added to non-retirement savings.
- If desired, this % may be increased to as much as 90% to help regulate any potential "lost" income.
- In any year that RMD's are greater than actual need, 90% of the excess is saved and is added to non-retirement savings.
Why 90% and not 100%? Because it's not reasonable to expect that anyone will be able to save every penny of excess income, every year, for decades.
Reliable financial plans should always have a small margin of error built in!

• Distributions from retirement savings are specified by spouse, by year, and are based on actual need, accounting for any expenses not paid by income.
- Each spouse may specify the age to start distributions (starting at age 55) to help with early retirement, or to delay distributions (and the tax liability) up to RMD age.
- All distributions account for the amount needed for expenses and the tax liability on the distribution. This is an essential point that other planning tools ignore.

• Roth Conversions can easily be entered for either spouse, by year, with the tax liability automatically accounted for.

• Qualified Charitable Donations (QCD's) may be entered, by year, by spouse, directly reducing RMD distributions as well as their corresponding tax liability.

• Order Of Funds Used - Expenses are paid from income first, then from proportional amounts of non-retirement and taxable 401k/IRA savings, and, finally,
from Roth 401k/IRA's. Cash equal to 2 years future expenses (minus income for those years) is held in reserve to help maintain liquidity.
Savings last longer, and tax liability is less, than if only one savings type was exhausted at a time (as other tools do!).

• The ability to enter expected/unexpected one-time events (additions or subtractions) that significantly impact retirement savings.
- Positive amounts may be assigned to either spouse's cash or investment savings, with negative amounts being added to expenses in the designated year.

• Results for each spouse are shown, by year, for:
- Taxable income.
- Non-taxable income.
- Social Security income.
- Non-retirement savings balances and distributions.
- Traditional 401k/IRA savings balances, contributions, distributions, and investment return rates.
- Roth 401k/IRA savings balances, contributions, and distributions, and investment return rates.
- HSA balances and contributions.

• Total combined results (single or married) are shown, by year, for:
- Gross taxable income.
- Federal/State tax liability.
- Federal tax deductions.
- Income available to pay expenses.
- Total expenses.
- Total amount of excess income and/or excess RMD's that was auto-saved.
- Non-retirement savings balances and distributions.
- Retirement savings balances and distributions.
- 401k/IRA distribution % of total savings (withdrawal rate).
- HSA balances and distributions.
