Custom tax types

Create one from the Tax Status picker or Settings → Custom Accounts → Tax Types. A type can’t be deleted while an account uses it.

Tax Categories card

The Tax Categories Dashboard card shows how your money splits across tax types in two bars:

  • Current: today’s balances
  • Projected: your balances in the year the latest Retirement Age is reached

Switch between % and amounts at the top. Accounts set to None, like mortgages and loans, aren’t included.

This makes it easy to see your tax diversification. Money in Roth, tax-deferred, and after-tax accounts is taxed differently when you withdraw it. A healthy mix gives you more flexibility to manage taxes in retirement, and the projected bar shows whether today’s contributions are moving you toward that mix.
