Tool Methodology
How is the Carbon Footprint calculated?
＋
Our Carbon Tool uses activity-factor accounting: home energy, transport, flights, diet, and waste inputs are multiplied by broad emissions assumptions. It is useful for scenario planning, not certified reporting.
Do you account for inflation in the Retirement Planner?
＋
Yes. The Retirement Planner includes a dynamic inflation toggle. We show both the nominal future value and the "Real Value" (purchasing power in today's dollars) to ensure your planning is grounded in reality.
