Lump-sum vs payout comparison sheets

A worksheet comparing taking a benefit as one lump sum against receiving regular payments over time.

What it usually contains

  • The lump-sum amount offered and the monthly or annual payment alternative
  • Break-even age or number of years needed for payments to match the lump sum
  • Assumed interest, investment return, and inflation rates
  • Tax treatment and rollover options for each choice
  • Survivor, spousal, and death-benefit differences between the options

What the assistant uses it for

Use it to answer which option pays more over a given lifespan, when the break-even point falls, and how taxes or survivor benefits differ between taking cash now and taking payments.

How it is versioned

A document of this type has exactly one current version at a time. Upload a revision and it becomes the version that counts — the one before it is kept and dated, but is no longer what your assistant answers from. Nothing is ever deleted, so you can always show what this document said on a given date.

On one AI system

Everything your company knows.
One version that counts.

You already own the documents. We make them the only thing your AI is allowed to answer from, and we keep them current — so nobody quotes last year’s price by accident again.
