How to read your results
Seeing your numbers laid out can feel exciting, surprising, or even a little overwhelming.
Here’s how to make sense of what you just saw:
- Your projected investments at retirement: This shows what your money can grow into with consistent investing. It’s not a prediction. It’s a direction.
- Your estimated income: This is the amount your investments could safely pay you each month without running out. Your portfolio becomes your income.
- Today’s dollars (if selected): This helps you understand what your future income might feel like in today’s buying power.
- Fee impact: If you selected advisor or fund fees, this shows how much quiet fee drag can reduce your future balance and income.
- If your numbers feel “too low” or “too high”: You didn’t do anything wrong. Your results depend on your timeline, your contributions, and your growth rate. This is the starting point, not the end.
