Not currently working on IOS

Whenever I try to open now it just crashes and there are no updates available. Please update for Apple. Thank you

Good estimate

The app is worth the $5 to plug in your information to get a rough estimate on your income in retirement. I wish it had an option for monthly deduction such as fed & state tax.

FErS&CSRS

Works good but on IPAD it turns sideways so it’s hard to use if you use keyboard on iPad. Would like to see where you can add other incomes and also a setup for Spouse Social Security.

Thank for the app

Simple & Powerful

Excellent resource

Great But Missing One Major Thing

You need to include an option for those who retire under FERS-Special: Federal law enforcement, air traffic controllers, and others. Their annuity calculation is different, and more lucrative, than regular FERS.

Perfect

It’s a perfect tool to see increases when my TSP is going up with the markets. I use this app about 3x a week to make adjustments.

Special provision

It’s a great planning tool. I wish that it was possible to add a provision for federal employees like law enforcement, air traffic and others subject to early retirement.

Wish they had an app like this for non-federal employees

I downloaded the app with the hope of using the calculations to be able to add military, but it didn’t work out. I wish there was an app that includes military retirement calculations (active or reserve), VA disability, TSP, 401k and other income streams, such as rentals or an insurance annuity, or stock dividends, and savings. Federal employee retirement calculations would be a plus of course. It would be a powerful app!

Great Planning Tool

The app gives you the flexibility to adjust many variables.

Love this app!

I enjoy just having this to glance at. It’s nice you can add all the income streams available in retirement.

Great app!

Love this app. Great and I’ve recommended it to many. With all the turmoil with possible RIFs and VERA/DCR going on right now it’s great that you have a VERA option as well. Thanks!

Great app!

Love this app. Great and I’ve recommended it to many. With all the turmoil with possible RIFs and VERA/DCR going on right now I wonder if there is a way you could update this to allow us to explore options for early retirement and what that looks like? Thanks!

Used to be great

They started tinkering with the software and now there are bugs. There is no ‘rate of return’ calculation under TSP. So, it’s useless now. Also, I sent a message asking for them to add an IRA with TSP functionality since some feds move their some or all of their money out of TSP. No response.

You need this app

Great App really helpful. I’ve used it for years and always found it helpful for planning. As I look at retirement and got official estimates, I was surprised to see how accurate it was. This app is so quick and flexible, absolute game changer!

A very useful app

A good app to give you an idea of what your income what would be in retirement. I update it anytime I have a change in salary, tsp contributions etc and see the new estimates amount. Has ability to add other income. It would be nice if they adds an option to add an IRA account.

Great app for playing and dreaming!

Well-designed and let’s me play with ideas as I plan my retirement…great fun and very practical!

Very handy for quick “what if”s!

Great straight forward tool for plugging different scenarios!

More income features

Love the app, but need the ability to add multiple income streams. The six or seven aren’t enough. Please add future feature to add other IRA income streams, Trust funds, life insurance annuities, etc.

Quick and easy retirement calculations

Wish I would have tried this sooner. Gave me a quick and user-friendly look at my retirement calculations and understood the best age for retirement in minutes.

Long Eye View

You can take control of your retirement, make adjustments and seek financial counsel with the information learned! Love it🫶🏾
