The Quick Gap Analysis calculator gives a rapid visual presentation of retirement income sources, needs analysis, and shortfall analysis. A comparison between projected income sources and income necessity is easily demonstrated, including projected insufficiencies and savings requirements to fill any gaps.

Income sources can include:

1.The client's and spouse's (optional) retirement plan(s), including defined benefit plans,

2.Social Security,

3.Savings accounts (such as IRAs or retirement plans from previous employers) ,

4.Known cash flows (such as rental income or part time work), and

5.Lump sum accounts (such as an inheritance or sale of a property).

After the data entry, the projected retirement income is compared to the client's retirement income need; thus, determining additional savings requirements. If necessary, various scenarios are then calculated and displayed as solutions for reaching the desired financial goals for the client's retirement.
