How to use the Retirement Tax Timing Scenario Calculator

Compare two tax timing assumptions using the same pre-tax resources. Rates are entered by you; the growth factor is identical for both approaches.

The calculation

Tax-later net = pre-tax×growth×(1−future tax); tax-now net = pre-tax×(1−today tax)×growth

Worked example

With zero growth and equal 25% tax rates, both modeled tax-timing approaches leave $7,500 from $10,000 pre-tax resources.

Assumptions and limits

Not an IRA eligibility or legal tax calculator. Contribution caps, deduction eligibility, required distributions, early withdrawal rules and tax savings invested elsewhere are excluded.
