Tax Computation

Bars represent entries on your 1040.

  • Ordinary income includes interest on bonds and withdrawals from your IRA.
  • Taxable Social Security is that portion of Social Security subject to income taxes.
  • Qualified Dividends and Capital Gains include reinvested S&P dividends and gains or losses on S&P sales.

The line at the bottom displays your total tax liability.

Notice the following:

  • In this case, with $1.5 million in initial assets and yearly withdrawals of $110K we never see more than about $10K in taxes, and sometimes $0.
  • Year after year we see constant values for adjusted gross income. As it turns our, AGI is usually pegged to IRS tax rate thresholds. This is a consequence of Hedgematic’s tax optimization strategy.
  • When you drill down to your IRA and Roth accounts, you will see how rollovers are used to source each yearly withdraw from the best combination of taxed and tax-free accounts.
