VeriPlan Retirement Income Planner
Concerning your Social Security retirement payments, you can set current dollar levels in VeriPlan for your entitlements, adjust the age to begin to receiving payments, and scale back the amount of your projected Social Security payments in retirement, if you wish. (See: VeriPlan helps you to understand your projected lifecycle income from multiple sources)
On VeriPlan's Pensions and Annuities worksheet, you can enter up to 10 separate pensions and annuities. For each of your pensions or annuities, VeriPlan will automatically project: a) the dollar amount of the monthly payment, b) separate real dollar growth rates before and after the first payment, c) whether payments begin at a specific age or at either user’s retirement, d) duration of payments, and e) taxability of payments.
