The suite

Free calculators for every retirement question.

Tax Diversification Score

We score how evenly your savings are spread across three tax treatments — taxable, tax-deferred, and tax-free. More balance generally means more flexibility to manage taxes in retirement.

Will My Money Last?

We simulate your retirement savings month by month: the balance earns a steady return while you withdraw an income that rises with inflation each year, until the money runs out or you reach life expectancy.

Retirement Confidence Score

Your Confidence Score compares the retirement nest egg you are on track to accumulate against the amount you would need to cover the gap between your desired income and your expected guaranteed income (Social Security, pension) through life expectancy. Everything is expressed in today's dollars.

Long-Term Care Cost

We estimate the future cost of long-term care by taking the current median cost for your state and care type, growing it to the age you might need care, and multiplying by the number of years of care.

Learn more →

Life Insurance Needs

We estimate life insurance needs with the widely used DIME method: Debt + Income + Mortgage + Education, minus any coverage you already have.

Learn more →

Pension: Lump Sum vs Monthly

We convert the monthly pension into a single value today (its present value) so it can be compared apples-to-apples with the lump-sum offer.

Learn more →

401(k) Match Maximizer

We estimate how much of your employer’s 401(k) match you’re capturing versus leaving behind, and what that gap would grow to by retirement if it went unclaimed each year.

Learn more →

Your Retirement Number

We estimate the nest egg ("your number") needed to fund the income you want using a safe withdrawal rate, then the monthly contribution needed to reach it from where you are today.

Learn more →

Social Security Optimizer

We estimate your monthly Social Security benefit at different claiming ages by adjusting your full-retirement-age benefit (PIA) up or down using the Social Security Administration's published reduction and delayed-credit rules. Where available, the calculation is performed by the pmSSAnalyzer engine; otherwise a transparent local estimate is used.

Annuity Income Estimate

We grow your investment to the age income begins, then convert that value into a level monthly income over your expected payout years — an illustration only, not a product quote.

Learn more →

The Cost of Waiting

We compare the future value at retirement of the same monthly contribution started today versus started after a delay. The difference is the "cost" of waiting — driven almost entirely by the compounding years you give up.

Learn more →

Roth Conversion

We compare the after-tax value of converting to a Roth now (paying tax today, then growing tax-free) versus leaving the money in a traditional account (growing now, taxed at withdrawal).

Learn more →

Required Minimum Distribution

We estimate your Required Minimum Distribution by dividing your prior year-end balance by the IRS Uniform Lifetime Table distribution period for your age. RMDs begin at age 73.

Learn more →

Inflation Impact

We show how inflation changes the value of money over time: what a given amount today will cost in the future, and what today's dollars will be worth then.

Learn more →

Retirement Income Gap

We compare the monthly income you want in retirement against the income you can reliably produce: guaranteed sources (Social Security + pension) plus a sustainable draw from your portfolio. The shortfall is your income gap.
