Morning all,
I have a simple spreadsheet that takes our combined pot of £700k and makes some assumptions on yearly withdrawal (£36k), inflation (2%) and growth (7%). This numbers can or course be adjusted to check different scenarios.
All good so far.
Now in 11 years time my wife will get her state pension which is currently £9,115 a year, which I’d like to add to the sheet, so that it then reduces what we need to take from our pot.
Do I make the assumption that the £9,115 has grown by 2% inflation for 11 years so I enter it as £11,333?
Similarly when I get mine another 7 years later?
Thanks!
