For enlistments prior to 1980. It would help if you could input that information as dates of service start to date of service end I.e. ETS or EDS in common service in data service. ### 5/5 — Best app ever!!!!! *2026-01-25, version 2025.6* Thank you for this treasure! I discovered an error in my retirement pay because if this app. Your app is spot on dead accurate. Keep up the great work! I can’t overstate how great this app is! ### 5/5 — Military Retirement *2025-12-30, version 2025.6* Awesome APP ### 5/5 — RADM *2025-12-30, version 2025.6* This is a fantastic app. All military should use this app for retirement planning. ### 5/5 — Useful *2025-12-19, version 2025.6* Extremely useful and easy to use. Very accurate with information ### 5/5 — Great retirement pay estimator *2025-12-17, version 2025.5* Very helpful for future planning ### 5/5 — 99% Accurate *2025-11-02, version 2025.3* I’ve had this app for over 2 years now and always wondered how accurate was the data was on here. After retiring I can honestly say it’s pretty close to 99% accurate. ### 5/5 — Fantastic career tool! *2025-09-03, version 2025.2* I could not be happier with this app! Surprisingly accurate and intuitively easy to use, this app is perfect and I love it! Great job in simplifying this complex and important piece of information! ### 5/5 — Satisfied Customer *2025-08-15, version 2025.2* Very helpful and reliable close to actual payments ### 5/5 — Legit *2025-07-22, version 2025.2* Incredibly useful for anyone navigating finances. I recommend this app to everyone I know who is retiring from the military. Predictably is a valuable commodity for anyone going through retirement and this app helps with that. ### 5/5 — My favorite app ever *2025-07-05, version 2025.2* This app has explained my retirement at a level of detail I could not find anywhere else. The actual amount of my retirement was within $7 of my actual pay. This app is the real deal and should be issued to all military personnel and their families. It is an indispensable financial aid and worth every penny. ### 5/5 — Retirement Tool Mist Have! *2025-07-04, version 2025.2* I use this app pretty regularly to stay informed on my veteran financial status. I like being able to know how much each rank makes in retirements, VA as well taxes for each state. This app was well worth the $4 or $5 I spent a few years ago. Peace of mind is paramount ### 5/5 — Top v a app *2025-06-06, version 2025.2* Easy friendly to use get all the information you need to make your decision ### 5/5 — Great - but could be greater *2025-05-19, version 2025.2* The App provides calculated military pay and VA disability pay, but wish it could also calculate TSP and 401k pay. In other words, income that could grow over time during retirement, but could calculate distributions. ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2025-03-20, version 2025.2* One of the few apps I’ll actually pay for. $6 is worth it I hope they keep it updated and pull from the most current sources. ### 2/5 — Out dated *2025-03-13, version 2025.2* This app is not current with the current pay raises and disability. I would recommend another app ### 5/5 — Great Planning Tool *2025-03-09, version 2025.2* I’ve been using this for a few years now adjusting all the variables as I go. I created profiles for every scenario, years in service and VA ratings. Very useful tool. Thanks! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update *2026-03-05, version 2026.3* Pay and state requirements all need to be updated to reflect current rates ### 1/5 — Update Please *2025-10-27, version 2025.3* Please include former prior to 2000 retirement in high threes I believe that may have algorithm configure this out so we understand how much we would’ve have received during that time with the interest and etc. ### 1/5 — Do not buy this *2025-01-05, version 2024.5* For $6 you would think they would provide accurate tax comparisons. Every other metric you can calculate for free on any basic military pau scale for free. Many military retirees want to understand what state their money will go the furthest. This app does not consider the many tax implications to consider. Which can be easily added which is what we paid for. ### 1/5 — Not worth the money!!! *2024-12-30, version 2024.5* This app is not worth the money, it does not let you put your exact retirement information in to correctly account for your pay. ### 1/5 — militaryretire *2024-10-22, version 2024.5* Very misleading. Paid 5.99 only to find out I cannot use it. I retired in 1997. I guess we don’t count. ### 1/5 — Retirement Date Failure *2024-09-24, version 2024.4* If you retired prior to 1/1/2012, like I did, this app is essentially worthless. All the important dollar calculations are tied to this date, therefore all the dollar values are inaccurate. Prior to purchasing this app the app developer should at a minimum have pointed out this fact to the buyer. What say you, app developer? ### 1/5 — Not worth $5 *2024-05-24, version 2024.2* There are other apps that do this math along with your tsp/taxes/insurance etc, that are free. ### 1/5 — VA compensation *2024-04-15, version 2024.2* The rating and money for the VA disability is way off and incorrect. Trash of a app. ### 1/5 — Not happy *2023-10-01, version 2023.5* Only works for those still on active duty. Worthless for any who retired before 2012. ### 1/5 — Why is this app not free? *2023-05-20, version 2023.4* This app use to be free! Do not download! Go online for free to military websites for free. Just google your branch and military retirement… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very Useful Tool *2026-07-30, version 2026.4* As I approached retirement this tool was extremely helpful in framing my thoughts on total compensation.

Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Retiring CSM *2026-03-16, version 2026.3* By far the best app I’ve seen to date. Current, relevant and easy to use. Great tool for future planning and preparation. ### 5/5 — 100% Worth it *2026-02-28, version 2026.3* Love this App. It is extremely accurate for determining what you will get when you retire. I compared 3 different friends who retired from the military in the last 5 years and it’s spot on. Totally worth it. ### 5/5 — VGLI rates *2026-02-03, version 2026.1* App is excellent, but the VGLI rates are off. I was paying $80 but they decreased it to $70. Not sure if you have the new rates. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
