Current Saving doesn't seem to add Net contributions to total correctly
Submitted by rdemuth on Tue, 03/14/2017 - 14:13
Just started using ESPlanner today, so this may be a stupid question. In the Assets and Savings, Current Savings tab, The Real Asset Income is pre-populated. Mine, for example is 1800. On the line for Net Contributions to Savings, etc accounts, if I put a 2 there, I get a total at the bottom of 1802. If I put a 20 there, I get a total of 1820. If I put a 200 there, I get a total of 2000. So far, so good. If I put a a 2000 in the Net Contributions line, however, I get a total of 1802. What's going on? What am I missing?

This is the interest earned
This is the interest earned or "earnings" for the year based on your assumed nominal rate of return for regular assets.

That wouldn't seem to explain
That wouldn't seem to explain why a 20 gets added directly while a 2000 gets added as 2. Nor does it jibe with the fact that the bottom line is labeled "Equals current saving"

Are you using the most recent
Are you using the most recent release. There was a bug in that area that I believe was fixed in the most recent release: 2.35.2

OK, I thought that was fixed
OK, I thought that was fixed in this release. It does not affect the results except for the "current year report" which is a current year snapshot. But it will not change discretionary spending or saving recommendations in the main reports.
