Frequently Asked Questions
How many scenarios can I create?
You can create and save up to 20 different scenarios. Each scenario is fully independent, so you can test wildly different assumptions without affecting your base plan.
Can I run Monte Carlo on scenarios?
Yes! Each scenario can be tested with our Monte Carlo simulation to see its success probability across 5,000 different market conditions.
Do scenarios affect my main plan?
No. Scenarios are completely separate from your base retirement plan. You can experiment freely without changing any of your actual projections.
Can I compare scenarios side-by-side?
Yes. Our comparison view shows key metrics (portfolio value, success rate, depletion age) for multiple scenarios so you can easily see the trade-offs.
