The output of the Retirement Planner will generate your Retirement Outlook to help better plan for your future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tool allows clients to include or exclude both Interactive Brokers\u2019 accounts as well as external accounts held with other financial institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such accounts need to be configured and clients must select to have it included in the plan. Depending on the type of account, simple assumptions are required to better project the accounts\u2019 impact using the Retirement Planner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example\/Tour:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with an example using John Doe to show you how the Retirement Planner within Client Portal may be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John is 27 and intends to retire at age 67.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His total compensation package is $150,000 annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He maintains a 401k plan and allots 10% of his pretax salary as monthly contributions. <a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has reviewed the Social Security website and isolated his expected monthly income payments at retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has done some basic calculations on expected expenses heading into retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s see how to enter this information into the Retirement Planner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Log into Client Portal from the Interactive Brokers\u2019 website. Once open click on Performance and Reports and select PortfolioAnalyst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Select the Planning link, followed by Retirement Planner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By entering in as much information as possible, you will be able to see both Asset Values and Retirement Income based upon a set of assumptions regarding inflation and market performance through time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note at the upper right of the retirement Outlook, there are icons to help download the output later into PDF or CSV formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click the Start Over button to wipe out earlier inputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin with we can see certain information about John, since it\u2019s his account. Interactive Brokers prepopulates known information submitted by the account holder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any fields with a red asterisk are required input fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John\u2019s current age and retirement status are displayed along with a desired retirement age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beneath, John can now enter information and values for an additional person, even though they are not named on the account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note by default, you can see the retirement Plan Information tab. But there is an additional tab for monthly Retirement Income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, John enters his anticipated retirement age of 67, along with a year for how long he expects to remain in retirement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He estimates inflation over time but can change that assumption to see how this might affect the results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>John enters $150,000 as his current Total Annual Compensation and assumes that his salary will be adjusted through retirement in-keeping with inflation. John enters the basic tax rate of 20 as his Expected Effective Tax Rate in Retirement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, John clicks on the Monthly Retirement Income tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>John expects that he will receive Social Security of $2500 as soon as he retires.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He edits the income field and enters $2500, chooses Yes for taxable and sets a Start Date and selects the appropriate date from the calendar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With that done, click on the Continue button on the lower right.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Retirement Planner allows John to itemize expenses. For the sake of simplicity, we will enter a monthly lump sum of $10,000 for the expense category.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, let\u2019s View My Outlook.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On the left column, John can include or exclude any additional held-away accounts that he has added to the planner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll see two tabs at the top \u2013 Asset Value and Retirement Income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <strong>Asset Value view<\/strong>, you can see projected growth before retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can adjust the Pre-Retirement Return, Post-Retirement Return and toggle whether its inflation adjusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just click Recalculate to see the updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chart will display your retirement year with an \u201cR\u201d \u2013 and if you have a deficit you will see \u201cD\u201d above the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below that you\u2019ll see a table with pre-retirement amounts, followed with retirement years and any deficit amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the scroll bar to see all the values shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll see in this scenario we have a deficit.&nbsp; If I adjust the post-retirement return to 5% and recalculate, we no longer have a deficit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or- you can adjust your essential expenses as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok \u2013 let\u2019s set the Post-Retirement Return back to 3% and recalculate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And let\u2019s select the <strong>Retirement Income<\/strong> tab.&nbsp; You\u2019ll see the same returns at the top of the screen for adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see \u2013 this view displays the retirement years only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chart shows you total income, expenses, surplus or deficit and any other events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below that you\u2019ll see the information displayed in table format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can click on the gear icon to adjust the columns and rearrange their placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do see a deficit. So, in this scenario \u2013 I will adjust the anticipated expenses down to $8,500.00 and recalculate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just click the pencil icon next to Monthly expenses, enter 8500 and click save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chart and table will reflect the new results.&nbsp; And \u2013 now we don\u2019t have a deficit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a simple scenario \u2013 but you can see that if you add additional external accounts, a partner\u2019s financial details \u2013 and or events such as paying off a mortgage, it takes a complex scenario and makes it easier to digest.\u00a0 Plus, you can download the results in PDF or csv formats.\u00a0 And always choose to start over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/en\/search\/index.php?query=retirement%20planner\"
