Income (through retirement + 30 yrs / age 90)
Revenue shows W‑2, rental, employer match, and portfolio dividends. After payroll taxes and pre-tax deductions, the bottom line is net spendable income. Lifestyle and housing expenses live on the Expenses tab — the Summary section compares the two to show your annual surplus or deficit.

Charts and summary tables come from your inputs and this app's projection engine—the same figures as CSV export.

Left axis (bars): annual operating surplus (above $0) and deficit cash draw (below $0). Right axis (lines): total net worth (financial accounts + all modeled property equity). Portfolio = savings + 401(k) + Roth + brokerage + modeled equity in non–primary-home real estate only (investment/vacation). Primary home equity is included only in total net worth. Deficit draws: cash out of accounts after net spendable; 401(k) draws net of assumed withholding.
