Translate a lifestyle income goal into capital, yield, and time

A target income plan is more useful when it separates gross yield from taxes, fees, inflation, and a safety margin. Use the calculator to see how much capital your desired income really requires and how quickly your current savings path can close the gap.

"The durable number is not the headline yield. It is the after-fee, after-tax yield that reliably funds your target income."

Model the drag

Fees, taxes, vacancy, and platform costs reduce spendable income. Enter them before trusting a yield headline.

Stress-test yield

Compare conservative and aggressive yield cases so the plan does not depend on a single optimistic assumption.

Validate assumptions

Use official investor education resources such as Investor.gov and confirm tax treatment locally.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • It annualizes your desired net income, adds a safety buffer, then divides that income need by your estimated after-fee, after-tax yield. For investing education, see Investor.gov.
  • Enter the annual gross yield you expect before taxes and recurring fees. The expense-rate field can model fund expense ratios, advisory fees, platform fees, vacancy drag, or maintenance reserves.
  • Income capital is yield-sensitive. A 3% net yield needs about twice as much capital as a 6% net yield for the same income stream.
  • No. It is a planning model. Verify assumptions, risk, taxes, and product details with qualified professionals and official investor resources such as FINRA.
