Great app

Everyone complaining about SL. If you were smart you would use before leaving. Doesn’t make any sense to leave with a lot of sick leave doe#not make much difference to your pension. Better off using it

Wrong Required years

They have age and years with and without knowing what part of government what are you CSFR or FERS are you under RUF because every one is 62years old not months of old but government thinks your so stupid you need a calculator for your age . You don’t need a calculator to tell you your agen but they don’t know your age if you give them a date . It’s not your birth date,
It’s the year you are born. for the person who works at OPM. If I say i’m 62 old the employee working on retirement department needs a chart showing
my age . You is a word that is for them not you .
But you making this app should read the rule title 5 retirement is no 50 years an 20 months
you need to know the section

Simple easy to use for regular FERS retirement

Nothing fancy but a great tool to use to know what your MINIMUM retirement should be when attempting to guess what your FERS annuity should be. Nothing fancy and doesn’t try to calculate what your sick leave will do or annual leave. I totally recommend this app. Just ask you to buy anything else or try to collect data from you.

Sick Leave

Why would you leave with sick leave? Use it!

Futile

Opening this app on iPhone 11 results in a white screen and then crash back to my iPhone main screen and the app icon. Complete and utter failure. Works as well as DoD NIPR computers.

Okay but missing…

It doesn’t give you the ability to enter sick leave, which adds to your Years of Service.

Good idea, it’s still buggy

Can’t really use it yet because the date selection is just blank even though I hear the scrolling date wheel.

Will love to try it when it’s fully functional.

Excellent Retirement Tool!

This is a Great Retirement Tool! I absolutely love it! I really like how I can input my information so I can calculate my Pension for retirement. I highly recommend this tool to all Federal Employees. It’s a Game Changer!

What happened to this app?

This app is no longer working as before. Please fix it. I can use the iphone keyboard with the app like I used to.

App no longer works

So I just update my phone to iPhone 12 and this app no longer works can’t set any dates. Any chance of getting an update soon?

No longer works

The update 6 months ago made this very useful app a waste of time. Users can no longer update or change dates etc.

Don’t waste time downloading it.

Stop working. Won’t let you set dates

Unable to change dates.

Do not download

This is a worthless advertisement for Ameritrade

Updates crashed it?

I was using this application. It was interesting to my co-worker also. I liked that I could adjust the dates and amounts so easily to see what would happen if I retired on certain dates. The certificate, if you turn the phon on its side, is comical too, esp as folks often talk about when they plan to retire.

Good FERS retirement tool

Handles the calculation easily. Saves multiple retirement scenarios. If you choose your inputs with care it will calculate immediate retirements, deferred and postponed retirements. Note: deferred and postponed retirements are not the same!

Doesn’t work on iPhone 11

App is completely useless on the iPhone 11. Can’t get past the first screen.

Can’t access the menu bar

If you have a newer iPhone that doesn’t have the home button the menu at the top of the screen is not accessible. You can’t do anything within the app.

Doesn’t work on iPhone-X

Will just keep piling these up until you fix it.

Simple, but appears to have a calculation error

The app is a great simple way to try different scenarios out and see what your annuity (pension) would be. It really only works for basic situations, as noted by other reviewers. I also found that when trying to calculate my annuity if I left after reaching MRA, but before reaching 30 years of service, it way over-penalized me. The scenario I used had me leaving 15 months early, and it said my pension reduction would be 27.922%. The estimated monthly payments were reduced from $2,375 to $1,645. (Ouch! That’s a whole lot more than a 5% per year reduction.

Don’t bother

Doesn’t have anything to click on in order for you to enter any information. Unless they fix it, don’t bother even trying.
