Tesla Growth Models Explained

Our calculator uses 7 different projection models arranged in order from hyper bullish to bearish scenarios. Each model is inspired by a public price prediction from renowned analysts and investment firms. After the prediction year, we apply a declining annual growth rate (CAGR) that steps down each year.

Fixed CAGR (Customizable)

Custom

Set your own constant Compound Annual Growth Rate. Choose any percentage from 0% to 200% for consistent year-over-year growth.

Best for: Investors who want to test specific growth scenarios

CAGR Range (Customizable)

Custom

Define a range of growth rates. The calculator will show results for both minimum and maximum CAGR values.

Best for: Investors who want to see a range of possible outcomes

Withdrawal Strategies

Fixed Percentage (4% Rule)

Withdraw a fixed percentage of your portfolio each year, typically 4%. This is the classic retirement strategy.

Pros: Simple, predictable income
Cons: May not adjust for inflation or market conditions

Fixed Dollar Amount

Withdraw a fixed dollar amount annually, with inflation adjustments to maintain purchasing power.

Pros: Predictable income, inflation protection
Cons: May deplete portfolio in bear markets

Variable Percentage

Adjust withdrawal rates based on portfolio performance and market conditions.

Pros: Adapts to market conditions, preserves capital
Cons: Income varies year to year

Withdrawal Strategy Selection

For early retirement: Consider variable percentage to preserve capital for longer time horizons.
For traditional retirement: Fixed percentage or dollar amount may provide sufficient predictability.
For large portfolios: Conservative withdrawal rates (2-3%) provide significant safety margin.

Inflation & Tax Considerations

Inflation Impact

Inflation erodes the purchasing power of your retirement income over time. Our calculator can adjust withdrawal amounts for inflation to maintain your standard of living.

Example:

If you withdraw $50,000 in year 1 with 2% inflation, you'll need $51,000 in year 2, $52,020 in year 3, and so on.

Tax Considerations

Tesla stock sales are typically subject to capital gains tax. Our calculator can "gross up" withdrawal amounts to account for taxes.

Example:

To receive $50,000 after 22% tax, you need to sell $64,103 worth of Tesla stock ($50,000 ÷ 0.78).

Monte Carlo Simulations

Monte Carlo simulations run thousands of scenarios with random variations to show the probability of different outcomes. This helps you understand the range of possible results rather than just a single projection.

Success Rate

Percentage of scenarios where your portfolio lasts through retirement

Portfolio Value Range

The range of possible final portfolio values across all scenarios

Withdrawal Sustainability

How your withdrawal strategy performs under various market conditions

Interpreting Monte Carlo Results

90%+ success rate: Very conservative, may be withdrawing too little
80-90% success rate: Good balance of income and sustainability
70-80% success rate: Moderate risk, consider reducing withdrawals
Below 70%: High risk, significant chance of portfolio depletion
