-
• Assuming constant returns during the withdrawal phaseSequence-of-returns risk in early retirement years can deplete portfolios faster than average returns suggest.
-
• Overlooking fee drag on index funds and mutual fundsA 1% management expense ratio can erode over 25% of total wealth over a 30-year investing horizon.

- • Calculations are based on constant rates and verified Time Value of Money (TVM) & Compounding Models formulas. They do not forecast unexpected regulatory updates, fiscal policy changes, or market fluctuations.
- • Precision uses 64-bit IEEE 754 floating point arithmetic; ultra-high precision ledger auditing requiring arbitrary-precision big decimal strings should double-check boundary rounding.
