Compare a starting withdrawal with your portfolio and a first-year market shock. Review an inflation-adjusted spending reference.
Quick answer: Compare a starting withdrawal with your portfolio and a first-year market shock. Review an inflation-adjusted spending reference.
Your starting withdrawal rate is 5.00%, and the year-2 stress withdrawal rate is 2.24% after a first-year market shock.
Cash bucket gap is $15,000; use this before automating withdrawals or selling investments in a down market.
Review a retirement planMy retirement drawdown stress test: starting withdrawal rate 5.00%, stress withdrawal rate 2.24%, and cash bucket gap $15,000.
This compares a market shock and cash-first withdrawal. It does not simulate portfolio survival over the selected horizon.
After the selected market shock and first withdrawal, the stress balance is $720,000.
The constant-spending coverage ratio minus the selected horizon is -10.0 years. This does not project when money runs out. The real-return assumption is 2.44%.

How to Use It
- 1Enter your invested portfolio, first-year spending and cash held outside that portfolio.
- 2Choose inflation, return and market-shock assumptions.
- 3Review the stress balance after spending cash first. The separate annual-return input is used only for the real-return reference.
