Simple Retirement Calculators and Spreadsheets

Spreadsheets can be useful as a simple form of retirement calculator. I have found a few that are free to use. If you are comfortable working with spreadsheets and are interested in using them as retirement planning tools, download them and try them out.  (If you are reading this in feed reader or by email, you will have to click through to the original post to download the spreadsheet files.)

IRA Calculator and Roth Analyzer Spreadsheet

Using different investment returns and rates of inflation, this spreadsheet helps determine the effects of early withdrawals from an IRA. It also provides data on transferring funds to a Roth IRA.  you can vary asset allocations based on age. The spreadsheet output assumes the following:

• There will be no change in Federal tax rates over a 70 year look-forward period.
• Living expenses and tax payments are withdrawn from taxable accounts first, then from a traditional IRA second, and finally from a Roth IRA last.
• That you will not withdraw money from an IRA that would be subject to the 10% penalty tax on early withdrawals.

The spreadsheet includes five charts that display financial and tax conditions over time.
