Stocks Bonds Cash What is this?

The results below are an estimate of how much money you would have at the end of the distribution period. The amounts, in today’s dollars, are shown in three ranges: shortfall, median, and excess.

Shortfall is based on scenarios in which your investments deliver below-average performance and/or you live beyond your life expectancy. Shortfall is the amount of additional money you may need right now to meet your estimated monthly income goal.

Excess is based on scenarios in which your investments deliver above-average performance and/or you die before reaching the average life expectancy. Excess is additional money you may have right now that would not be needed to meet your estimated income goal. It may be helpful to consider excess as the assets you might transfer to your heirs.
