Interpreting Results

Interpreting the results from the Living Benefit Calculator is straightforward. The calculator provides a clear number representing your living benefits. Here's what the number means:

• The living benefit represents the amount of money you have available after accounting for your income and expenses.
• A higher living benefit indicates a better financial situation, while a lower living benefit suggests you may need to adjust your expenses or income.
• The benefit factor applied to your net income (income minus expenses) determines the final living benefit amount.
