Understanding the key inputs

Filing status

Married filing jointly or single. Sets the federal tax brackets, standard deduction, and Medicare (IRMAA) income thresholds the plan uses.

Pacing strategy

How much to convert each year. Steady keeps a lower annual tax bill; Accelerated converts more each year to lower total lifetime taxes; Full conversion converts the balance before RMDs begin. Rothmatics sizes the annual amount to fit the choice.

Risk preference

A firm-set illustrative annual return tied to a risk level (Conservative → Aggressive). It is an assumption — not a forecast or a specific investment — and drives the growth in the projection, shown net of the advisory fee.

Current tax bracket

The federal tax bracket the conversion "fills up to" each year, so the converted income stays within it.

Advisory fee (net-of-fee)

Illustrations are shown net of the advisory fee — auto-blended from the UAA schedule by account size — so growth reflects a return after fees.

Illustrative and educational only — not tax or legal advice. Figures are hypothetical and depend on the inputs and assumptions you provide, and are shown net of the applicable advisory fee. Suitability is evaluated separately with the client.
