Lakned Jones current age 50
Age estimated to begin long-term care 70
Annual cost of long-term care in today's dollars $73,000
Annual long-term care inflation 4.50%
Number of years estimated to need long term care 6
Value of funds already set aside by you for long term care $100,000
Before-tax return 7.00%
Marginal tax bracket 24.00% Annual increases 0.00%
Your future long-term care needs total $1,182,543.
You have available assets of $100,000. To self-insure you will need to save $20,929 per year increasing at 0.0%, or, you can set aside a lump sum of $267,397 today and let it accumulate interest until needed.

After tax interest = 7 % - 24% = 5.32%
so after tax interest first year = 120929*5.32% = 6433
