Rate Progression UI Refinements
A couple of small requests for the Tax Analytics > Rate Progression chart:
- If I hide a certain category listed on the right hand side (e.g. RMDs), and I scroll to another year, the category reappears, forcing me to hide it again. This is distracting when trying to focus on some other metric over time. The sticky show / hide behavior of the categories in the charts above (Income, Taxes, Marginal Rates, Effective Rates) is better.
- Similarly, if all the relevant categories for a particular plan could be listed permanently, even if they are not in effect for a particular year, that would be useful. Maybe gray them out or desaturate them to indicate they are not in effect instead of having them play peekaboo from year to year.
- Locking the percentage scaling on the Y-axis so it stays fixed as you scroll through the years would be more intuitive. Currently, in some scenarios, the max Y-value jumps wildly between 5% to 45% and it takes my brain a few cycles to recalibrate each time.
- Lastly, as I move though the timeline, the X-axis labels (dollar amounts) have a tendency to jump between angled and flat orientation, causing the graph to slosh around a bit visually. I’d be happy with a little less granularity on the bottom labels since the cursor readout is quite precise.
....also adding another vote to expand the X-axis to the left that #fishbert suggested.
Thanks for such a visually beautiful tool!
