An observant reader alerted me today to a minor bug in the Benchmark calculator where the growth chart was improperly shifting one series a year to the right. In the process of fixing that, I also found another error where the 2015 data wasn’t properly integrated into the charts. Both issues have been corrected.
I really appreciate when people find issues like this and bring them to my attention. If you see anything that looks strange in any of the calculators, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Even if it’s not actually an error, I’m happy to explain how things work.
