Calculators and decision tools, split on purpose.

Projections answer “what will it be?” — they’re free, forever. Decision tools answer “which, when, where, and whether?” — the comparisons, rankings, and breakevens that protect irrevocable choices. The AI planner ties every decision into one plan.

Calculators · Free

A complete retirement pay estimate — free forever.

Everything a $3–6 estimator app charges for, plus the lines they leave out — free with an account, no card.

Complete Retirement Pay Estimate

One scenario, every line item: pension (High-3, BRS, REDUX, Final Pay — Active or Guard/Reserve with points and gray-area timing), SBP premium, Tricare premium, VGLI, VA disability with offset, and federal tax — down to a net monthly check.

Project your TSP balance to retirement from your monthly contribution, with BRS government matching and withdrawal modeling.

BAH Calculator

Retirement Budget Planner

Decision Tools · Pro

Compare, optimize, and retire without leaving money on the table.

Every locked tool teases a real number from your own projection first — you always see what the analysis is worth before you pay.

COLA Optimizer

Rank all 12 retirement months by lifetime pension. The first-year COLA can make one month worth thousands more for life — see the best and worst months, historical backtests to 2000, and inversion warnings where serving longer pays less. Free shows your planned month’s exact impact.

BRS Lump Sum Breakeven

Whether — and how much — lump sum to take. Breakeven analysis with survival probability, cumulative value charts, what-if investment planning, and after-tax impact for 0%, 25%, and 50% elections. An irrevocable election worth tens of thousands.

SBP vs. Private Insurance

Make the irrevocable Survivor Benefit Plan election with data. Compare SBP against term, whole life, IUL, and a term + ETF strategy — death benefit, survivor income, lifetime costs, cash value, and Monte Carlo modeling. Free shows your SBP premium and benefit.

50-State Tax Comparison

Where to retire — and what it costs you. Your own state’s tax on retirement pay plus all 50 compared: income tax brackets, military exemption details, property tax breaks for veterans, and education benefits. Location changes both what you earn and what you keep.

Unlimited Scenarios & What-If Comparison

Model every path — different grades, dates, systems, elections — and compare them side by side. Free saves two scenarios.

Career Progression Modeling

Project future promotions and pay raises across your career timeline so retirement scenarios use realistic pay progression — and TSP contributions can ride your growing income (percent-of-pay mode).

Second-Career Income Modeling

Post-retirement W-2, 1099, self-employment, rental, and pension income streams with self-employment tax and combined tax impact.

Contributions & Tax Optimizer

Estimate federal tax liability and maximize retirement contributions with interactive sliders, tuned to your military household.

AI Q&A Assistant

A docked chat that follows you through every calculator and answers benefits questions with citations — and remembers your situation (1M tokens/month with Pro).
