Month-by-month drawdown of a retirement balance: how many years the money lasts at a monthly withdrawal that rises with inflation, the age it runs out, the odds of being alive then, and the most that could be withdrawn to last 20, 25 or 30 years. Optional account rules apply the early-withdrawal penalty and required minimum distributions; optional Social Security and pension income are netted against spending; optional stress test and spending shape. The same engine as savingslast.com, and the result carries a link to the page with these inputs filled in.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| monthly_withdrawal | number | yes | Amount taken out each month today, in dollars, after tax. Enter what savings must cover, or enter total spending and give the Social Security and pension separately. |

| annual_return | number | no | Expected annual return in percent, -10 to 20. Default 5. |
| inflation | number | no | Annual inflation in percent, -5 to 15. Default 2.5. The withdrawal rises at this rate so spending power stays level. |
| tax_rate | number | no | Tax on withdrawals in percent, 0 to 50. Withdrawals are grossed up so the after-tax amount matches. Default 0. Ignored for Roth and HSA accounts. |

Default none. |
| social_security_monthly | number | no | Social Security benefit in dollars a month, netted against spending. Rises with inflation. Default 0. |
| social_security_from_age | integer | no | Age the Social Security benefit starts. Needs age. Default: from now. |

| pension_rises_with_inflation | boolean | no | Whether the pension has a cost-of-living increase. Default false. |
