Dimension 04

    Retirement Spectrum

    Plan contributions, distributions, and lifecycle thresholds

    The Retirement Spectrum dimension models your retirement account strategy across the full lifecycle — from contribution modeling through distribution planning. It compares contribution levels across 401(k), IRA, Roth, and HSA accounts, models Roth conversion ladders, tracks RMD requirements, and identifies IRMAA thresholds. This dimension helps you understand how retirement decisions interact with current-year taxes and long-term wealth.
