Easy to Read Overview of Goals

  • Title of the Target-Map.

  • Percent funded towards the savings goal today (present value).

  • A colored bar indicating the percent funded today.

  • Expected Net Return on Capital of investable assets over the length of the project (also considered as the Discount Rate of cash flows), net of taxes and fees. This represents the average of returns of investible assets being applied to fund the project.

  • Present Capital Deficit (or Surplus if the goal is over funded) in estimated dollars today.

  • Additional Contributions to Fund per month today to solve the deficit. This also shows a monthly overage if there is a surplus.

  • Annual Increase of Contributions. This affects the Additional Contributions to Fund amount. Zero percent indicates a flat monthly additional amount needed to save. A different percentage indicates today's amount of additional funding needed to save will increase by that percent each year. This is often used to accommodate for inflation.

  • Duration of contributions. This displays either the length of the project in years, or the amount of years until the project begins, depending on the Target-Map template used. 0.0 years indicates now.
