Your plan

Updates live
01 / Holdings & timeline

Checking the price source…

Full annual withdrawals start at your retirement age and include your ending age.

02 / Spending in today's dollars

Income starts at retirement and rises with inflation. Enter only income you expect for every retirement year. Any surplus is not reinvested.

In today’s dollars, after the final withdrawal. An unsold portfolio-value target, before any tax on a final liquidation. Use zero if you do not need a cushion or inheritance.

03 / Explore an outcome

These are editable examples, not expected returns or analyst predictions. Growth is nominal, before inflation.

Growth begins next year. Withdrawals in the current year use today's price.

04 / Tax estimate

A simplified estimate. Gains use one average purchase cost; tax brackets, lots, loss credits and account-specific rules are not modeled.

The chart compares growth assumptions using the same holdings, timeline, spending, income, taxes and downside test. All balances follow each year's withdrawal.

How sensitive is your plan?

How much could I spend?

Annual total spending in today's dollars, including other income, that this selected path can fund through your ending age. Preserves your minimum ending balance in today’s dollars. A mathematical ceiling with no additional safety margin.

What return would my plan require?

Constant annual growth, without a downside shock. This is a threshold, not a forecast.

Annual spending & share balance

Nominal dollars. Shortfall measures after-tax spending the plan could not fund. Shares and portfolio values are after withdrawals.

READ THE ASSUMPTIONS

Accurate arithmetic. Uncertain outcomes.

How the calculation works

Each row represents one full year at the displayed age. From next year, the stock price changes by your growth assumption. A selected retirement shock applies before that year's withdrawal—even if retirement starts now.

Spending and other income grow with inflation from today. The portfolio funds the difference after estimated tax. Sales stop at the shares available; unmet spending is reported as a shortfall. Growth after retirement continues on the remaining shares.

What this does and does not model

Included: Tesla holdings, recurring retirement income, spending, inflation, simplified sale taxes and the selected downside path. No contributions, dividends, fees, cash reserves, diversification, income start-date changes or tax-loss benefits are included.

There is no success probability: these paths have no assigned likelihood. One stock can lose all its value. A plan working under a scenario does not make it safe or predict what will happen.

Your data and comparisons

Calculations run in your browser. Save stores scenario settings on this device until you remove them or clear browser data. Saved scenarios from earlier calendar years are not loaded into the new horizon. Legacy analyst-based scenarios are not converted.

Price data comes from the site's published price sheet and may be delayed. You can enter a price yourself. Every comparison uses the displayed price; saved plans retain their original price.
