IncomeArchitect™ Modeler

The retirement
income plan
you can see before
you commit to it.

A proprietary planning tool used exclusively by IPP advisor partners. It projects your complete retirement income picture — every source, every year, every risk — and shows you exactly what changes when the IncomeArc™ architecture is in place.

What It Does

A complete retirement income picture,
built while you watch.

The IncomeArchitect™ Modeler is a live planning environment — not a static report. Every input change instantly recalculates your complete retirement income projection, so advisors and clients can explore every scenario together in the room.

01
Income Projection Arc
Year-by-year income waterfall showing exactly where retirement income comes from at every age — Social Security, pension, RMDs, Roth distributions, ETA policy loans, and portfolio draws — stacked against an inflation-adjusted expense line. Surplus and gap years are visible at a glance.
02
Architecture ON/OFF Toggle
The most powerful feature. Toggle Architecture ON and the projection rebuilds around the IncomeArc™ four-layer system. RMD exposure shifts. Tax liability moves. The confidence score changes — sometimes dramatically. The difference between two paths becomes visible and undeniable.
03
Monte Carlo Confidence Score
1,000 randomized return trials run against your actual income structure, withdrawal rates, and guaranteed income streams. The result: a single probability score representing how likely the plan is to fully fund expenses to the plan-to age. Honest, not optimistic.
04
Sequence of Returns Risk
Toggle SORR to apply a stress-tested return sequence in the first five retirement years — showing exactly what a bad early market does to your specific plan. The confidence score and chart update simultaneously to reflect the real probability of survival under adverse conditions.
05
Health Event Modeling
Model a long-term care event for you, your spouse, or both — including the full tax gross-up cost of funding care from a pre-tax IRA. Show the uninsured portfolio spike against the Architecture-protected plan side by side. The cost of inaction becomes quantified, not theoretical.
06
Tax, IRMAA & Full Debit Breakdown
Federal tax, state tax, IRMAA Medicare surcharges, and LTC gross-up costs tracked year by year across five dedicated views. The IRS co-ownership of your qualified plan isn't abstract — it's a line item, growing larger every year, until someone addresses it.
The Starting Point

Your status quo,
rendered honestly.

Before exploring what's possible, the IncomeArchitect™ Modeler establishes exactly where you stand. Every income source layered by year. Every tax and IRMAA cost visible. The trajectory of your qualified plan balance — and the growing RMD exposure embedded in it.

Most people have never seen their retirement income presented this way. The chart makes the picture clear before a single recommendation is made.

  • Social Security, pension, and portfolio draws shown by source and tax character
  • Inflation-adjusted expense line overlaid against income — gap years visible immediately
  • IRMAA Medicare surcharges tracked in a dedicated sub-panel year by year
  • Monte Carlo confidence score — calculated across 1,000 randomized return scenarios, giving you an honest probability of plan success

Health Event Modeling

Show the real cost
of being uninsured.

Most clients have never seen what a long-term care event actually costs their portfolio — not in today's dollars, but inflated at 4% to the event age, drawn from a pre-tax IRA with the full tax gross-up applied.

Toggle Health Events ON and the model shows both the uninsured scenario — with the expense spike and confidence score drop — and what the Architecture-protected plan looks like with a Layer 2 policy covering the same event. The difference is immediate and visible.

  • Primary and spouse care events modeled independently at any age
  • Care cost inflated at 4% annually to the event age — real future dollars, not today's
  • Uninsured expense spike vs. Architecture-protected flat line shown simultaneously
  • Confidence scores can drop 15–25 points when uninsured care events hit — revealing the true probability cost of having no plan

Sequence of Returns Risk

The perfect storm.
Before it happens.

Layer Sequence of Returns Risk on top of Health Events and the model stress-tests a down-market sequence in the first five retirement years — combined with uninsured care events and no Architecture protection. This is the scenario most retirement plans are never honestly tested against.

In a sample scenario like this, the portfolio can deplete well before plan end. Income from guaranteed sources continues, but all portfolio draws cease. Confidence scores can fall into the 4–11% range. The plan is At Risk — and this is exactly the conversation most families have never had.

  • SORR stress schedule: down-market sequence applied in the first five retirement years
  • Health events for both spouses layer on top of the early return stress
  • Portfolio depletion can occur years before plan end — all portfolio draws cease
  • Confidence score: 4–11% — At Risk. The stakes of the conversation become undeniable.

Architecture ON

One toggle.
The plan changes.

Toggle Architecture ON with every stress scenario active — SORR, both health events, expense shocks — and the IncomeArc™ four-layer system rebuilds the projection around it. Layer 1 provides the tax-free guaranteed income foundation. Layer 2 insulates against long-term health care events. Layer 3 delivers tax-free income with downside protection. The portfolio is protected from forced liquidation at the worst possible time.

The confidence score increases by 90–93 points. That number is the conversation — and no report, no binder, no projected illustration has ever made it this visible.

  • Layer 1 is the fundamental foundation — contractually guaranteed, tax-free income
  • Layer 2 absorbs both care events — no portfolio spike, no forced draws
  • Layer 3 income activates to deliver tax-free, MAGI-neutral income outside the IRS
  • Confidence score increases to 95–99% — with the same market and care assumptions
  • Expense shocks, SORR, and health events all stress-tested simultaneously
95–99% Confidence — Strong

Who It's Built For

Built for advisors.
Designed for clients.

The IncomeArchitect™ Modeler serves two audiences — each with a different relationship to the same planning conversation. Both leave with something they've never had before.

For Prospective Clients
Most retirement planning conversations are abstract and don't focus on an income plan during retirement — projections in a binder, numbers without context. The IncomeArchitect™ Modeler ends that. You see your specific situation modeled in a format you can actually read. And you see exactly what changes when a plan is built around you.
  • See your projected retirement income from every source, year by year to an age you determine
  • Understand what the IRS is extracting from your retirement savings — and what can change
  • See the financial cost of a care event before it happens — uninsured vs. protected
  • Compare status quo to an optimized architecture side by side in real time
  • Leave with a printed summary of every input used to build your projection
For Advisor Partners
The IncomeArchitect™ Modeler is the planning tool that separates IPP advisor partners from every other firm. Used exclusively within the IPP Advisor Portal, it gives you a proprietary capability no generic planning software can replicate.
  • Run client projections live in the room — not afterward in a report
  • Show the Architecture difference with a single toggle — the chart does the talking
  • Stress-test with SORR and health events to surface risks clients didn't know they had
  • Generate branded PDF reports and Scenario Summary printouts for client follow-up
  • Save and reload client scenarios across sessions through the Advisor Portal
  • Access exclusive planning methodology and product architecture unavailable elsewhere
Monte Carlo Confidence
1,000 trials
Every scenario runs 1,000 randomized return trials against the client's actual income structure. The result is a probability — honest about risk in a way traditional planning software isn't built to be.
Architecture Impact
Visible instantly
The confidence score differential between status quo and full IncomeArc™ architecture is calculated and displayed in real time. Clients see their number before and after — and understand exactly what's driving it.
Exclusive Access
Portal only
The IncomeArchitect™ Modeler is not publicly available. It's accessible exclusively through an IPP advisor engagement — built for serious planning conversations, not a calculator anyone can find online.
"The plan isn't real until the client can see it.
The IncomeArchitect™ Modeler makes it real —
in the room, with their numbers, before they leave."
