How is the Retirement Income Gap calculated?

We compare the monthly income you want in retirement against the income you can reliably produce: guaranteed sources (Social Security + pension) plus a sustainable draw from your portfolio. The shortfall is your income gap.

What data and assumptions does it use?

The safe-withdrawal-rate concept (commonly cited near 4%) is widely published; the rate is an on-screen, tenant-configurable assumption.
