VeriPlan’s investment growth calculator helps you to understand the projected value of your cash assets across your lifetime
To develop your lifetime projections, the VeriPlan compound investment calculator allows you to enter as many as 24 separate cash and cash equivalent asset holdings. For each of your current cash holding in your investment portfolio, you can also enter your investment costs and your current tax basis.
In addition, you can indicate whether you hold a particular cash asset in a taxable investment account, in a traditional IRA or other tax-advantaged traditional retirement plan account, versus in a Roth IRA retirement account or a designated Roth 403b, 457, 401k retirement account.
Using the information that you provide about your current cash, bond, and stock holdings, VeriPlan’s future value investment calculator will automatically project the net worth valuation, investment cost, and tax characteristics of your investment portfolio annually across your lifetime.
Furthermore, VeriPlan’s home retirement investment calculator capabilities will project your year-by-year positive and/or negative net income from earned income and other non-asset income sources, after your annual living expenses would be paid. Then, VeriPlan’s fully integrated savings investment calculator will automatically project your return on investment and net worth broken down by asset class.
Project your lifetime stock, bond, and cash assets with automated annual rebalancing, capital gains taxes, and investment cost calculations.
VeriPlan’s long term investment calculator features will project your annual lifetime investment returns net of investment costs and investment taxes, according to the particular asset allocation method you have chosen from the five provided by VeriPlan’s retirement calculator asset allocation tool. Simultaneously, VeriPlan will automatically take into account and report on your investment costs and on your capital gains tax and other tax obligations.
A customer comment from the sidebar: "VeriPlan is a big help. I'm in my mid 50's and have been a diligent saver and passable investor for many years. I am going through a work transition from salaried corporate employee to independent consultant, and my aging parents are needing financial help. Financial planning is particularly important to me and my family now. Thanks for making your product available. I've recommended it to a number of folks and will continue to do so."

A customer comment from the sidebar: "VeriPlan has been a very flexible home financial planning tool. It took me a few hours on a weekend to understand what VeriPlan could do and to enter our financial data. Our family financial affairs were scattered all over, and we lacked a comprehensive picture of what the future might hold for us. I wanted a clear understanding of our projected lifetime and retirement income, expenses, taxes, debts, real estate, financial assets, college investments, retirement investments, and everything else all together."

A customer comment from the sidebar: "You have done a great job of including the necessary instructions in VeriPlan, located close to where the modeling is happening. The thing I like about the VeriPlan User Guide is that it adds substantial additional commentary that I personally find very valuable. I was hunting for a capable and reasonably priced financial planning package, and VeriPlan is an awesome tool. The more I play around with it, the more valuable I find it. Your free user guide was what made me decide to get VeriPlan." C. A. in North Royalton, OH

A customer comment from the sidebar: "One of the stories that VeriPlan tells me is how much of my money could be lost to excessive investment costs. I just switched to some lower cost funds in my 401k. I loved updating VeriPlan with the new cost values just to see the red bar on the Total Assets chart get significantly thinner - quite a shocking difference." M. W. in Tulsa, OK

A customer comment from the sidebar: "I am extremely impressed with the depth of information that VeriPlan asks for and provides. VeriPlan seems much more detailed than one would expect for the very reasonable price. Although I am not a financial professional, I consider myself more financially educated than the most people of my age (62). I find that VeriPlan's depth to be just what we need for our retirement planning. I am glad I purchased it. Thanks." J. W. in Gainsville, FL

A customer comment from the sidebar: "I have been very happy with this software. I will put VeriPlan to work to help optimize our IRA to Roth conversions, while avoiding the IRMAA penalties if we can. We are in an opportunistic window for the next several years. I have been appalled by the lack of professional knowledge available with respect to the tax burden that will fall upon us when RMDs take effect. Most of the information I have found suggests that it isn't a problem. Luckily, this software will be of great benefit to chart our course." J. S. in Louisville, KY

A customer comment from the sidebar: "I am a recently retired engineer, and I created a cash flow Excel spreadsheet for 25 years of retirement. So, I fully appreciate the data and potential variances that must be accounted for. Yet, mine is so very simple compared to VeriPlan. I love VeriPlan's concept of total control over inputs and parameters. Veriplan's objectives are very much like mine, but it has many, many more input and control options, and the price is spot on."

A customer comment from the sidebar: "I've been using VeriPlan for a few weeks now, and it is everything I was looking for plus a whole lot more of what I didn't even know I needed. By simply switching VeriPlan to a state that does not have a state income tax, I can see how much I could save on traditional IRA distributions in retirement by moving to a state without income taxes. It is a real education in personal finance, and I think just about everyone would benefit from using this tool." T. H. in Silicon Valley CA
Financial Planning and Retirement Software for Home Use
Your VeriPlan IRA investment calculator lifetime projections always maintain a separation between A) your taxable accounts, B) your traditional IRA, 401k, 403b, 457, Simple, Keogh, and other traditional retirement savings accounts, and C) your Roth IRA and Roth 401k retirement accounts. With VeriPlan’s Roth IRA investment calculator and its 457, 403b and 401k investment calculator features, taxes on your projected asset returns and withdrawals will be applied differently, depending upon the tax rules for each type of account.
Your current investment portfolio costs allow the VeriPlan home investment calculator to measure the cost efficiency of your financial investment portfolio related to the five major types of investment costs. VeriPlan’s cost efficiency measurements are weight-adjusted by the value of the assets that you are projected to hold in each of your cash, bond, and stock asset accounts across you lifetime.
VeriPlan’s five asset allocation methods allow you to analyze a wide variety of asset allocation strategies for your lifetime through its easy-to-use:
- cash savings investment calculator,
- bond investment calculator,
- stock investment calculator, and
- mutual fund investment calculator software features.
Here is an example of one of VeriPlan’s lifetime retirement planning worksheet projection graphics with a 10% allocation to cash and cash equivalent assets. This graphic projects your cash, bond, and stock financial assets. Additional lifetime graphics automatically project your real estate and other assets, while also reflecting your projected debts.
A customer comment from the sidebar: "VeriPlan's financial projection graphics simply lay out what the future might hold for my family. Also, VeriPlan is a very fast and automated financial investment calculator that allows me to change anything and to test alternate investment decisions rapidly. Its integrated documentation explains clearly how it works, and it also includes a wealth of well-researched personal finance and investment information that has been very helpful." T.

Plus, I like VeriPlan for its automated projection of detailed investment costs. Thanks for making a great product." K. W. in Naperville, IL

A customer comment from the sidebar: "I first learned about the zero federal taxes on long term capital gains when under the 25% marginal income tax rate from working with VeriPlan a number of years ago. I’m no longer working but not yet receiving RMD’s or social security so my ordinary income is relatively low. So I’ve been taking full advantage of zero federal capital gains taxes by selling off my high expense ratio mutual funds which have a lot of capital gains built in since I’ve held them a long time and then I reinvest them in index mutual funds which don’t generate as much capital gains distributions. So the education that you and VeriPlan provide has saved me thousands in taxes, not to mention the expenses on high cost mutual funds. Thanks again." M. D. in El Paso, TX

Internally, the VeriPlan financial investment calculator maintains separate information for each of your individual investment asset accounts throughout your lifetime projections. This very detailed approach allows VeriPlan to project automatically your overall portfolio tax efficiency and investment cost efficiency for each year of your lifetime projection.
The VeriPlan retirement planning spreadsheet does this even though the net values of your individual asset holdings may change at different rates due to differences in investment appreciation, costs, and taxes. By completely avoiding the use of arbitrary averages across groups of investors, the VeriPlan retirement planning tool provides you with much deeper and unique insights based on your particular personal financial planning across your lifetime.
