FAQ

Is this a Roth or Traditional IRA?

The projection works for both, but taxes depend on account type and are not modeled.

Does this include contribution limits?

No. Adjust the contribution to match current IRS limits.

What if I pause contributions?

Set the annual contribution to zero for a year to model a pause in savings.
