How do I include my spouse in my retirement plan?
PortfolioPilot's Retirement Planner supports joint planning for couples. Here's how:
- Go to Plan → Retirement Planning
- Scroll to the bottom section → click the "Spouse / partner" tab
- Set "Include spouse / partner separately" to Yes
- Enter your spouse's current age, retirement age, life expectancy, SS start age, and income share
- Make sure your spouse's accounts are added to your Net Worth page (connected or manually entered)
You can also create separate Asset Groups for each spouse's accounts if they have different investment strategies or restrictions.
This gives you a combined retirement projection that accounts for both incomes, both Social Security benefits, and both portfolios.
