Year-by-Year Overrides
Override any cost, inflation rate, monthly savings, or return rate for any specific year — perfect for planned renovations and known events.
How Year-by-Year Overrides Work
A 40-year override table lets you replace any calculated value with a known number. Pick a year, pick a field, type the override, and the projection recalculates. Overrides are visually distinguished from calculated values and propagate forward where appropriate.
- Six overridable fields: inflation rate, monthly savings, savings inflation, return rate, plus per-component replacement cost
- Paginated 10-year view with prev/next navigation across all 40 years
- Cascading propagation: growth-field overrides carry forward until cleared
- Inline cell editing with AJAX auto-save and amber-highlight visual diff
Why This Matters
No two properties or owners follow textbook assumptions. Maybe you locked in a fixed contractor price for year 5, expect inflation to cool, or know a tenant turnover year will eat into savings. Overrides let you model reality, not theory.
- Model planned renovations with their known contracted price
- Adjust inflation forecasts year by year based on real economic outlooks
- Skip a savings deposit during a vacancy year without breaking the model
- Compare baseline scenarios versus overridden scenarios at a glance
