Tax Drawdown Tool

You spend decades climbing, saving and investing across three tax buckets. This tool plans the descent: exactly how much to pull from each account, and when, so you come down the mountain without an avalanche of tax owed.

Drawdown amounts only apply to Custom Drawdown, and only take effect in your retirement year. Enter them as negative numbers (money leaving the account). Line them up against the reference tables below to target a 0% tax bill.

Enter your numbers above, then run Drawdown to $0 or Custom Drawdown to see your schedule.
Tax reference tables

These are reference only. Nothing here drives the calculation automatically, you decide the drawdown amounts by hand using these numbers, same as the original sheet. Edit any figure below when the tax code updates, everything on this page will follow.
