How You'll Use It

Planning Your Retirement Date

Want to know if you can retire at 62 instead of 65? Run the simulation and see exactly how it affects your success probability. Maybe retiring at 63 gives you 90% confidence instead of 75%—that's a decision you can make with clarity.

Optimizing Spending in Retirement

Wondering if you can afford that dream trip every year? Model different spending levels and see the impact. Maybe spending $5,000 more annually only drops your success rate from 95% to 92%—worth it for the experiences.

Navigating Market Volatility

The market just dropped 20%. Should you delay retirement? Adjust spending? Our simulations show you exactly how different responses affect your long-term security, helping you make rational decisions when emotions run high.

Coordinating Spousal Retirements

Planning retirement for two? Model scenarios where one spouse retires early while the other works longer, optimizing household income, benefits, and quality of life.
