Questions the forecast is built to answer

Look beyond the dividend number

How much dividend income could my portfolio produce?

Use your holdings, planned contributions, dividend-growth assumptions, and reinvestment choices to forecast annual dividend income over time. You can also view it as a monthly equivalent, even when the holdings do not pay every month.

How much might I keep after taxes?

Where you hold an investment and how its dividends are taxed can change the answer. Income Pilot uses the account type, state, and tax details you provide to estimate the effect, with the assumptions available for you to review.

What could that income be worth after inflation?

A future dollar may buy less than a dollar today. Income Pilot adjusts projected income for inflation so you can compare its estimated purchasing power with the monthly goal you set.

What if dividends are cut, or growth and inflation turn out differently?

Dividend payments and inflation can change. With Full Access, explore modeled outcomes that include cuts, freezes, recoveries, and different inflation paths. See how often the simulated paths reach your income goal; they are scenarios, not predictions.
