Example scenario

Near Retirement Roth Conversion Example

Open a near-retirement Roth conversion calculator example with a larger IRA balance and shorter projection window.

Scenario assumptions

Shorter horizon, larger IRA balance, and careful upfront tax-cost visibility.

This example uses a shorter runway before retirement to show how upfront tax cost and break-even timing become more visible.

It helps users see how conversion amount, taxable income, age, and retirement tax-rate assumptions interact in the model.

The scenario is a starting point for understanding the calculator and is not a tax planning recommendation.
