Hi Carol -- We'd love to have the database and create a page on BenefitsLink, with credit to you. Let me know how I can get it and make it easy for you. What is this retirement thing of which you speak? I thought it was only mythology 🙂 CONGRATULATIONS!

Dude, congratulations!!! You have taken the time and thought to make more than 6,700 posts to these message boards, over more than 24 years. What a helpful and loving contribution you have made to your peers, the employee benefits industry, and hence to plan participants and plan sponsors all over the country! Unfortunately, your request for retirement is denied. (The fine print is in the Terms of Service, the plan documents, or somewhere.)

Tell me more about creating your own GPT!

@austin3515 It is pretty cool, I must say. I had written the program for fun before the web became a Thing, so it was almost an afterthought to put it online. I've never promoted it. It certainly could be improved (e.g., the ability to store the data so as to be able to rerun the program at some later date, or to adjust the employee census). Do you have administration software for an integrated profit-sharing plan, and could you confirm that it produces the same allocations that my program produces (if you enter the same employee census data and whatever integration level the program ends up applying to that data)?

It would be interesting for you to enter the numbers into this app I wrote a coupla decades ago, and see if it agrees that 80% + $1 is the optimal integration level: https://benefitslink.com/site/inte-greater/
