How Retirement Figures is different
01 The method

How Retirement Figures works

Build a baseline plan, test important decisions, and understand what drives your retirement outlook.

  1. 1

    Build your baseline

    Enter accounts, income, expenses, federal & state taxes, Social Security, pensions, healthcare, and retirement timelines.

  2. 2

    Run realistic projections

    Use Monte Carlo, historical return blocks, or deterministic planning to see a range of possible outcomes.

  3. 3

    Test the big decisions

    Compare Roth conversions, Social Security claiming ages, pension choices, ACA strategies, and withdrawal timing.

  4. 4

    Understand the result

    Review success rates, cash flow, taxes, withdrawals, ending balances, and the assumptions behind the projection.

02 What's inside

Everything you need to build, test, and improve a plan

02.1

Core planning

  • Build your retirement plan. Add accounts, debts, incomes, expenses, windfalls, real estate, and timelines with full flexibility.
  • See your probability of success. Run thousands of simulations to understand how likely your plan is to succeed.
  • Understand what drives your results. See clear summaries of your plan, including risks, tradeoffs, and key outcomes.
02.2

Tax & healthcare planning

  • Federal + state taxes. Every year of your plan is taxed at both the federal and state level (all 50 states plus DC), including how Social Security, RMDs, and capital gains are taxed.
  • Roth conversion strategies. Compare conversion approaches and see the tax tradeoffs now and in retirement.
  • ACA, Medicare, and IRMAA. Estimate premiums, subsidies, and surcharges before and after age 65.
  • Long-term care modeling. Add future care costs and see how they affect your cash flow and plan success.
  • Advanced HSA strategies. Track delayed reimbursements and model tax-free growth in your plan.
02.3

Stress-test & optimize

  • Test what-if scenarios. Adjust spending, income, debt payoffs, and more, and see how each change affects your plan.
  • Optimize key decisions. Find the best Social Security, pension, and spending choices to maximize plan results.
  • Compare multiple plans. Save separate strategies and compare alternatives without overwriting your baseline.
  • Customize your assumptions. Set your own return and inflation rate assumptions to match your outlook.
02.4

Outputs & reports

  • Cash flow visualization. See where money comes from and where it goes, by year or across your full plan.
  • Year-by-year breakdown. Review annual income, expenses, taxes, withdrawals, and balances, and export to CSV.
  • AI plan review. Get a second opinion that highlights risks and opportunities you might have missed.
  • Shareable PDF report. Generate a clean printable summary to keep or share with an advisor.

Also free: standalone calculators for Social Security claiming, Roth conversions, pension lump sums, and home: own vs. rent.

03 What your plan tells you

It tells you where to look next

Most retirement tools stop at a success rate. Retirement Figures scans your year-by-year plan and flags the things you'd otherwise have to spot yourself.

  • Success rate is 62%High

    Below 70% means the plan has a meaningful risk of running out. Worth exploring before you lock in retirement timing.

    Plan Optimizer
  • 8.4% peak withdrawal rate at age 71Watch

    A single-year rate above 8% is aggressive. Review whether it reflects a one-time draw, early-years overspending, or late-plan depletion.

    Results
  • Social Security starts 4 years after retirementInfo

    Your portfolio carries the full load from age 63 to 67. The bridge years often deserve their own review.

    Social Security
  • Taxes jump 41% at age 72Info

    Filing status changed to single after the first spouse's death, which compresses brackets and raises tax on the same income.

    Results

Insights recompute every time your plan changes. Dismiss the ones you've already handled - the next ones in line take their place.

For illustration only. Cards shown are composites of the kinds of issues the engine surfaces - your real cards depend on your inputs.
04 Worked example

See how one decision changes the whole plan

Not a single future number. The effect of a strategy change across success rate, lifetime taxes, and ending balance.

Hypothetical example Baseline vs Roth strategy

Baseline plan

Median ending balance

Roth strategy

Retirement Figures shows how a strategy moves the full plan: taxes, withdrawals, cash flow, and long-term outcomes, not just one number.

For illustration only. Results depend on your inputs and assumptions.
05 Early retirement

Built for early-retirement decisions

Retiring before 65 or 59 1/2 adds new planning problems. Model the ones that actually move the plan.

  • Pre-65 healthcare planning

    Estimate ACA coverage costs before Medicare eligibility.

  • ACA-aware Roth conversions

    See how conversions can affect taxes and subsidies.

  • 72(t) / SEPP and Rule of 55 withdrawals

    Model penalty-free early withdrawals from eligible retirement accounts before age 60.

  • Deferred HSA withdrawals

    Delay HSA reimbursements and model when healthcare expenses are paid from your HSA.
