Welcome to Retirement Forecaster by Weeks Investments. Instantly display your projected retirement income without sending your information to a remote server. No personal data is collected––all calculations are done on your iPhone, instantly. It is easy to use, but has a number of advanced features that make it an indispensable tool for retirement planning. Designed for Canadian taxpayers (although useful for anyone), Retirement Forecaster allows you to see in an instant the outcome of your investing strategies over time. It can even help you decide between investment strategies. Try various scenarios on its dual charts, or link the charts to change investment amounts mid-life. Whether you decide to retire early or work into your seventies, Retirement Forecaster uses Revenue Canada's published figures to carefully estimate CPP/QPP, OAS and GIS for most Canadians (other users can disable this feature and manually enter your country's equivalent values). It has extensive built-in help pages and optional pop-up info boxes to guide you through its use and features. Once you've entered a few numbers and charted your investments, you can use the Bullseye Optimizer to immediately see your optimal retirement age, optimal investment amounts, or what maximum draw you can make on your investments to ensure they will last to a given age. Then print or share a formatted PDF summary of your results, which you can use as a guide to discuss options and strategies with your Financial Advisor. Retirement Forecaster is sponsored by Weeks Investments and proudly developed in Saskatchewan, Canada. You can contact us through the app for all your investment needs. Disclaimer: As with any similar software, Retirement Forecaster cannot predict future returns on investments, inflation rates, or your personal circumstances. It uses your inputs and some adjustable default values to make mathematical projections of your current and future investing, but the results are projections, not predictions, nor promises. Always consult a professional financial advisor before making important investing decisions.
