Jeffrey - Is the tax rate marginal or effective?

It worked for me, it's the perfect graph to show my YD how if she and DH start saving now how much money they will have than her Dad and I.

I like many aspects of it (interface, speed, usability).

I'd like more ways to give inputs- years would be age money needed-current age. I don't know how long I have to retirement... so being able to modify graph by age gives something I would use often.

In addition being able to have different versions "saved"- then added together. I included my Roth to my 401k, so the tax info at bottom meant little to me. Also doubt the tax calculator could be too accurate without federal+state versions.

Make it calculate RMDs and we might have a winner!

It would be nice if you added a feature that adjusted those amounts for inflation over that same time period. It may be 4 million dollars, but what is 4 million dollars in 2042 going to be equal to in todays dollars? Let up pick the rate of inflation like you do the interest rate so that we have a 'feel' of the actual value of the money.

A million just isn't what it use to be.

The scale for monthly savings seems a bit off for me. The range is running from $0 - $100,000, but I'd be willing to bet 99% of people are going to want to enter values between $1 and maybe $2000 or so.

Since the actual space between those two values is millimeters, it's very difficult to manipulate the slider for that info. I did do OK typing numbers into the box, but I'd like to be able to use the slider effectively.
