Does the 25X rule take into account long term capital gains tax of 15%? Like if I know I need 40K to survive, do I need $1M, or more to make up for the tax too?

The 25x role is an estimate for quick math. Every individual will have variations on that. That's what spreadsheets are for. It's more giving you an order of magnitude, if you want $40k you need ~1M. Depends on your risk tolerance too and how you invest.

I don't think it takes each individual tax implications into consideration

That 40k a year budget should account for taxes as an expense.

4% rule doesn’t account for taxes. You need to add taxes into your budget before you multiply.

So investing 12K every month in market. My worry is with that rate - it will take us 12-14 months to move the extra 75-80K mentioned above. However do not want to make a bulk move.

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!
