This is a really good interface but the assumptions backing the results seem weak. The growth rate on conservative and aggressive portfolios are high. The recommended amounts of saving should be as % of income. Recommending someone that makes 100k save 100 dollars a month is not great. It's also sad that the maximum amount saved per month is 1k where even just maximizing 401k is 1.5k a month.

Yeah, the return rate, even for conservative is WAY too high.
The return isn't adjusted for inflation, so it's not that far off. That's probably misleading though.
You can set a custom number...
