Tax Bracket Runway
Longevity Value Comparison
| Strategy | Total Converted?Total dollars shifted into Roth over all years to your plan age. | Total Taxes Paid?Total federal tax across all conversion years. | Roth Value if Chosen Longevity is Reached?Projected total tax-free Roth IRA value at your plan age. | Traditional IRA (After-Tax)?Yes — this is the projected after-tax value you would actually pocket if you left your money in the traditional IRA, grew it at your entered growth rate to your plan age, then withdrew and paid taxes on the entire balance in one lump sum at the Future Withdrawal Rate you entered. It is a single-event, full-liquidation snapshot used as a direct comparison against your Roth outcome. | Lifetime Advantage?Roth Value at your plan age minus the Traditional IRA (After-Tax) value at your plan age. This is the dollar benefit of executing this conversion strategy rather than leaving the money in your traditional IRA. |
