Important estimate limitations

This educational calculator uses 2026 federal brackets and the standard deduction. State tax is estimated using a representative state marginal rate and does not include local taxes, state deductions, credits, special retirement-income exclusions, AMT, NIIT, Social Security taxation, Medicare IRMAA, withholding, or every exception. The 10% additional federal tax is applied when the entered age is under 59½, although exceptions may apply. The 40% mitigation assumption is illustrative only and is not a guarantee or calculation of results Financial Future Team can provide. Consult qualified tax and financial professionals before taking a distribution or implementing a strategy.
