How do I show a 50 year period but a 20 year Pay Down so that Distribution 1’s income is still based on Interest Only and Distribution 2’s income could for example, use a death benefit to improve cash flow and spend Interest and Principal but only for 20 years.  If I show a 50 year measurement of money the second person doesn’t run out at age 84, but I want to illustrate 50 years for both examples, but Distribution 2 running out in 20 yrs. 

Make the Illustration Period (Years) be 20 first.  Note you can also put 65 in place of 1 in the Year column so it shows 65-84 instead of 1-20.

Then turn off the automatic Pay Down calculation (click on the “PayDn” button on Distribution 2 so it is no longer blue).  Then change Illustration Period (Years) to 50 which will stretch out the illustration to 50 years and you will see that the Pay Down amount does not change so it runs out of money in the 20th year.

When running a 41 year analysis, say from 65 to 105, yet you want a paydown for only 20 years, se the illustration period to 20, click the paydown button, then click it again (turns it off) then change your illustration period to 40 so you can see the 20 year paydown.  Then, in the Other Net Income section you could add Reverse Mortgage Income or Dividend Income from age 86 to 105. 

Definition of “Additional Income” is “net after taxes but before qualified plan deduction”.  For example, if someone is earning $150,000 they have $30,000 of mortgage interest deductions and $10,000 of charitable deductions, then Additional Income is $110,000 for the Qualified Plan Calculator and if they are putting $15,000 into their QP, then Additional Income is $95,000 for Accumulation and Distribution Calculator
