Financial Terms Explained

Glossary of Key Terms

Financial planning uses specialized terminology. Here are definitions for terms used throughout our platform.

4% Safe Withdrawal Rate (SWR)

A rule of thumb suggesting you can safely withdraw 4% of your retirement portfolio annually without running out of money over 30+ years. Based on William Bengen's research.

Monte Carlo Simulation

A computational method that simulates thousands of possible market scenarios using random returns to estimate the probability your retirement savings will last. Higher success rate = lower risk of running out of money.

529 Plan

A tax-advantaged college savings plan where earnings grow tax-free and withdrawals for education expenses aren't taxed. Each state offers plans; you can use any state's plan regardless of residency.

ESA (Education Savings Account)

An individual education savings account with an annual contribution limit of $2,000. Earnings grow tax-free; withdrawals for education expenses are untaxed. More flexible than 529 plans but lower contribution limits.

UGMA/UTMA Account

Custodial accounts for minors where a custodian manages investments until the child reaches age of majority. NOT tax-advantaged like 529s/ESAs but offers more flexibility in how savings can be spent.

AIME (Average Indexed Monthly Earnings)

A Social Security calculation: average of your highest 35 years of earnings (indexed for wage growth). Used to compute your Primary Insurance Amount (PIA).

PIA (Primary Insurance Amount)

Your Social Security benefit amount at Full Retirement Age. Calculated using the bend-point formula applied to your AIME. Adjusted if you claim early or late.

Full Retirement Age (FRA)

The age at which you can collect your full Social Security benefit (no reductions). Ranges from 65-67 depending on birth year. Early claiming (age 62) reduces benefits; late claiming (age 70) increases them.

EAR (Effective Annual Rate)

The true annual cost of a loan accounting for compounding, used to compare loans fairly. For a $200k mortgage at 6.5%, EAR might be higher due to monthly compounding.

Debt Payoff Strategy

Methods to eliminate debt efficiently. Common strategies: Avalanche (highest rate first), Snowball (smallest balance first), or Consolidation (combine multiple debts into one).

Emergency Fund

Cash savings for unexpected expenses or income loss. Recommended size: 3-6 months of living expenses. Kept in liquid, safe accounts (not investments).

Inflation Adjustment

Adjusting future dollar amounts to account for purchasing power loss. Example: If inflation is 3%, $100 today will need ~$134 in 10 years to buy the same items.
