Abstract: A financial advisory platform that includes Roth contribution support is provided. According to one embodiment, a method is provided for identifying an alternative retirement savings strategy that maintains take-home pay and increases a forecasted after tax value of a retirement portfolio. A split optimization module determines whether there exists an alternative retirement savings strategy for an investor that both (i) maintains take-home pay of an investor and (ii) increases a forecasted after tax value of a retirement portfolio of the investor as compared to a current retirement savings strategy of the investor.
