Why are my projections missing or surprising?

Projections need enough usable scenario information. A message may appear when the scenario has no items, no debt for the debt schedule, or no values that can produce the selected chart.

Check the inputs

  • Debt balance, payment frequency and interest rate.
  • Investment value, contribution and return rate.
  • Income and expense frequencies.
  • Whether the scenario has a monthly surplus or shortfall.
  • Whether a regular item was marked Once.

A missing interest rate triggers a warning. A large shortfall can slow or prevent projected repayment. Debts that do not clear within 30 years are reported that way.

Tip: Change one suspicious input, save it and reopen Projections. Do not change several figures at once while troubleshooting.
