How this works. The projection runs your account month by month at the base deposit (annual disbursements ÷ 12), finds the lowest point over the year, and compares it to the required cushion. A projected low point below the cushion is a shortage, spread over 12 months to catch up; above it is a surplus. Estimate for planning — your servicer's statement governs. Not financial advice.
