There's another free online MCS calculator at http://www.flexibleRetirementPlanner.com This one is a little different in that it makes it easy to experiment with different scenarios to “stress test” your plan. For example, you can plug in a market crash of 25% in year 5 of your retirement and see how it affects the outcome. Or, you could plug in ten years worth of LTC expenses starting at age 75 and see how your plan does under that scenario. Also, it has support for some of the new research about dynamically changing withdrawal amounts based on market conditions.
