Product Release Notes
RELEASED - December 2010
EARLYRETIRE PRO™ 2011
New in this release:
- A Social Security Calculator has been added to help you make the
decision when to begin taking Social Security. If you enter a known benefit
at a known age, the calculator provides a table of all your eligible start
ages, the annual Social Security income you would receive for each start
age, and the associated lifetime benefit you would receive. A critical tool
for this important decision.
- The distribution algorithm has been improved for more efficient income
tax leveling. Better analysis of tax liability due to Social Security, low
distributions from a 72(t) plan, and Roth conversions could increase your
post-retirement income.
- You can now control the income reduction rate for Reality Retirement
Planning. Normally 3% (according to statistical survey), the annual rate of
income reduction between ages 55 and 75 can now be adjusted in the Algorithm
Settings to allow you to tailor this feature for your own expectations.
- You can exclude the HSI and EarlyRetire logos from appearing on the
printed Report. Also on the Report, the Other Income column has been broken
out to show Financial Event cash flows separately.
- There are now three borrowing levels in the Algorithm Settings rather
than simply on or off. You can adjust the degree to which borrowing is
allowed or prevented by the distribution algorithm.
