Sample CSV

Symbol / ID accepts a ticker (live quote or previous close), a Treasury TIPS CUSIP (inflation-adjusted principal at par; units = face ÷ $100), or an I-bond purchase month like 2021-11 (official redemption value computed locally; units = face value in dollars). Prices update only when you click refresh — never on their own — and rows that could not update are highlighted with the reason on hover.

Privacy mode keeps modeling local by disabling Google Sheets imports and live CMS Marketplace plan searches. CSV, JSON, setup backup/restore, offline ZIP lookup, and manual ACA plan inputs remain available.

Healthcare

Insurance until Medicare
20 controls

Assumption: ACA subsidy math uses coverage-year household size, marketplace member ages, and prior-year FPL guidelines for the selected tax year.

Plan & premium overrides

Assumption: exact plan mode calculates PTC from the household SLCSP and applies the selected plan gross premium and OOP max. Quoted net premium mode trusts the quote and bypasses PTC recalculation.

Backup plan (high-MAGI fallback)

Assumption: the backup plan becomes active only when modeled ACA MAGI exceeds the trigger, so it can model subsidy cliffs without replacing low-MAGI coverage.

Federal Marketplace plan finder

Assumption: federal Marketplace lookup uses the HealthCare.gov API for FFM states. State-based exchanges are routed to localized benchmarks offline, or accept manual local plan overrides.
