VeriPlan Tax Calculator Overview: Part 5 of 7
The VeriPlan retirement planning calculator automatically projects your lifetime U.S. federal, state, and local taxes
With its fully integrated lifetime retirement tax calculator and income tax estimator features, the VeriPlan personal finance software automatically projects your lifetime tax obligations in eight different tax categories. VeriPlan automatically projects your financial plan using the particular federal taxes, state taxes, and local income tax rates and limitations that currently apply to you. It also projects your income tax exemptions, tax adjustments, and tax deductions plus your property taxes and other taxes. To prevent obsolescence, the VeriPlan home retirement planning software allows you to change the tax rates and limits that its tax calculator uses, in case tax laws change in the future.
