Notes

  • Other sources of income are ignored; you can adjust your inputs to allow for them.
  • ISA contributions are limited to £20,000 a year.
  • All Stocks and Shares ISA withdrawals are tax-free.
  • The investment growth rate is adjustable. The default is 5% a year (after 2.5% inflation).
  • Withdrawals are spread evenly across the bridging years.
  • This is a projection. Actual investment returns may be very different from the assumed growth rate.
