Savings Estimator

The Savings Estimator is designed to help financial services professionals to assist their clients in forecasting and evaluating their retirement needs - before it's too late. The app consists of three major sections: 1) Surrender Charge Calculator Use this simple screen to quickly figure out the financial impact of surrendering one insurance policy or annuity for another - what is it going to cost the client, and how much will it take to make them whole again. 2) Calculation Modeler The Savings Estimator's main purpose is to help you to simply and clearly explain your clients' financial situation, and lay out for them what steps they'll need to take to attain their goals. To that end, the app supports many different Calculation types; choose the right one for each of your clients. The Calculation types are as follows: • Starting Value (how much need to have right now) • Annual Contribution (how much do they need to add to their account each year) • Retirement Account Value (how much they're on track to have in their account by retirement) • Retirement Age (at what age will they have enough to retire) • Ending Account Value (how much will they have in their account at a given point after they retire) • Ending Age (how long after they retire will it take for their account to draw down to a target level) • Retirement Income (how much money will they be able to take from their account after they retire) The last three Calculation types can be modeled either starting from retirement, or beforehand. Calculations can be modeled with a variety of different options, including: • Specifying different account yield levels before and after retirement • Specifying whether or not Requirement Minimum Withdrawals (RMD) are in effect • Whether withdrawals are in dollars or percentage of remaining balance • A customized Calculation name, to help you identify it in the list Additionally, once you've created a Calculation, you can save it so you can refer to it again in the future, and with the tap of a button you can produce a professional-looking PDF containing everything about the Calculation, which you can share with your client. You can add your company and/or personal branding to the PDF* so that every Calculation you run will have the crisp, professional look you desire. Additionally, industry-standard disclaimer language is included by default, and you can add your own addenda, as required by your company. 3) Client Tracker* Keep all the information about your clients in the app, and quickly pull up Calculations that you've run for them. Enter them manually, or import them from your Contacts list, either way it's easy to set up and organize your information. * Feature requires a paid subscription Special thanks to Alex Elrod for her Graphic Design expertise, Greg Rucker for Programming, and Tyler Thome for Programming.
