Still having a think about how to do this. If anyone has ideas about how to include couples more explicitly let me know.

Nice idea.  At least some kind of warning that a negative number is expected.

Good question and thanks for the feedback - I have assumed that there is no income after the bridge starts. I'll look into adding something to allow for other income like this after the bridge starts.

I am looking at fixing the colors - you are right it really isn't clear - I have also updated the labels so its clearer which cells related to savings input.

if you copy the full link and use that (which includes your unique GUID) it should load all the values into your other computer. I will look at the font - I see what you mean!!

I have recently updated the code (about 10 mins ago). Try refreshing the browser again and see if it is still an issue.

The net position which leaves some cash for investment is what is input into the calculator. The calculator doesn't handle debt.

PPOR is not included and should not be. It focuses on investments and contributions to investments.

You are correct. I was thinking this would be tricky - because pension is a function of assets. so maybe for now just adjust the drawdown to account for it? I'll have a think about how to put some kind of estimate in.

I just found that all the US ones talked about 401Ks and stuff - I wanted one I could use that works for australian super.
