No. Beacon is a deterministic modeling and record-keeping tool. It is not financial, investment, tax, legal, or retirement planning advice.
Beacon is for people who want to manually track investable assets, test financial independence assumptions, and understand how savings, spending, returns, and withdrawal rate affect a projected FI date.
Beacon calculates an FI target by dividing annual spending by the withdrawal rate, then projects current investable assets plus ongoing savings at the expected return until that target is reached.
Investable assets are assets that can realistically support future spending, such as cash, taxable investments, retirement accounts, and other liquid or income-producing investments.
