Writing to see others that have used the PWL Retirement calculator can answer my question.

The tool I am referencing is https://research-tools.pwlcapital.com/research/retirement

I had put in my that I would want $55,000 spending in retirement and its saying the cashflow in my first year would look like this.

Withdrawals
Personal Taxable Redemption $55,091
RRIF Withdrawals $0
TFSA Withdrawals $0
- Taxes Owed -$91
- CPP Contributions -$0
- EI Contributions -$0
- DB Pension Contributions -$0
- TFSA Contributions -$0
- RRSP Contributions -$0
- Personal Taxable Account Contributions/Re-investments -$0
= Spending $55,000

How would it be possible to get $55,000 from generating $55,091 in capital gains? Or am i reading this wrong.

Is it because I will generate $55,091 (Market Value - Book Cost) but will only pay taxes on $27,500 (50% tax inclusion)? But from a spending perspective I will have $55,000 to spend?
