Retirement Success Planner

Plan with more clarity.

A simple, private way to explore your retirement income, spending, savings, and long-term outlook.

Your privacy comes first. Your entries and saved plan stay in your browser on this device. This planner does not require an account and does not send your financial information to a database. Information leaves your device only when you choose to share, print, or email your results.

Planning tool disclaimer. This tool provides estimates and simulations for educational and personal planning purposes only. Results depend on the information and assumptions you enter, including investment returns, inflation, taxes, spending, Social Security, pensions, and other income. Actual results may differ significantly. Monte Carlo simulations illustrate a range of possible outcomes and do not predict or guarantee future investment performance. This tool does not provide individualized investment, tax, legal, insurance, or financial advice. Consider consulting qualified professionals before making important financial decisions.

STEP 1

Household and retirement goal

Use realistic estimates. You can revise them anytime.

Household type Current retirement savings $ All investable retirement assets combined. Cash reserve outside retirement investments $ Emergency savings or cash you want to keep separate from your invested retirement portfolio. Estimated annual retirement spending $ This total is built on the next screen from housing, utilities, healthcare, insurance, travel, gifts, holidays, vehicle replacement, and other spending.

Advanced assumptions

Expected annual return % Expected inflation % Plan through age State tax on Roth conversions % Estimated retirement tax rate % Used only to estimate after-tax retirement income on Results.

STEP 2

Plan to spend

Estimate what your retirement lifestyle may actually cost. Enter monthly amounts unless the row says annual.

Retirement spending will not be identical every year. Routine expenses may rise with inflation, while some years may include a replacement vehicle, major home repair, special vacation, larger gifts, or extra healthcare costs. Use a realistic average and review it whenever your plans change. For credit cards, enter only debt payments on carried balances so purchases already listed elsewhere are not counted twice.

Estimated monthly spending$0

Estimated annual spending goal$0

Vehicle replacement is shown as an annual reserve. Example: saving $6,000 per year creates roughly $30,000 over five years for a safer replacement vehicle. Children & Education is optional and defaults to $0. If an expense applies, you can optionally enter your age when you expect that cost to end, so the planner does not carry it through your entire retirement.

STEP 3

People and Social Security

Person 2 appears only for couples.

STEP 4

Other retirement income

Add pensions, benefits, rent, or part-time work.

STEP 5

Optional Roth planning

Choose “None” when you do not want Roth conversion modeling.
