Wealth Plan
Year-by-year forward projection of income, expenses, and wealth
Your wealth plan stays in your browser: inputs and overrides are saved only in localStorage. We don't send them to our backend. Like the rest of the site, page views are measured by Google Analytics — see our Privacy Policy for details.

The wealth plan gives you a year-by-year forward projection of your income, expenses, assets, and net worth — from today through retirement and beyond. Fill in the setup form, generate the plan, then fine-tune individual cells in the table.
- Getting Started
- Choose your currency, set the plan start year, retirement year, and how many years to project. Enter your current income, living costs, and savings. The tool will generate a full table you can scroll through.
- Inflation & Portfolio Returns
- Enable inflation to have expenses grow each year based on historical CPI data for your currency's country. Select a portfolio risk profile to model investment growth — returns are drawn from long-run historical averages.
- Pension Setup
- Enter state, employment, and private pension details. The tool supports annuities (lifetime or fixed-term) and lump-sum payouts. Pension income appears automatically in the correct year.
- Editing Individual Cells
- Click any non-total cell in the table to override a value. Overrides are highlighted and persist across recalculations. Right-click a cell to clear its override.
- Clearing Overrides
- Use the "Clear Overrides" button to remove all manual edits and regenerate the plan purely from setup data.
- Income Section
- Shows earned income (pre-retirement), state pension, employment pension, private pension, and investment income. "Portfolio Return (Reinvested)" is a memo row — it shows growth that stays in the investment portfolio rather than being paid out as income.
- Expenses Section
- Covers living costs, housing, pension contributions (pre-retirement), tax liability, and other expenses. Pension contributions stop at retirement. Tax rate switches from pre- to post-retirement rate.
- Income / Expense Surplus
- The difference between total income and total expenses. A positive value means you're saving; negative means you're drawing from assets.
- Assets & Net Worth
- Tracks liquidity, investment portfolio, accumulated pension pots, and property. Net worth equals total assets minus total liabilities (mortgage). When surplus is negative, liquidity is drawn down first; if liquidity hits zero, the investment portfolio covers the remaining gap.
After generating a plan, scroll down to the Monte Carlo section. It runs hundreds or thousands of randomized simulations to show the probability that your savings last through retirement. Unlike the base plan (which uses a fixed return), Monte Carlo captures year-to-year volatility and sequence-of-returns risk.
A success rate above 85% is generally considered comfortable. Below 70%, consider adjusting spending, increasing savings, or delaying retirement.
The simulation uses the savings pool and average withdrawal derived from your wealth plan. Pension income is already factored in — only the residual draw from savings is stress-tested.
For couples, we assume one partner outlives the other. After the first partner passes, household living and other expenses drop (food, transport, lifestyle); housing stays the same.

Pre-retirement, your portfolio focuses on growth (capital appreciation). At or near retirement, it shifts to an income-producing strategy (dividends, interest) that generates regular cashflow. Enable this to model that transition.
Enter your employer-sponsored retirement account balances and contributions.
Traditional, Roth, and Rollover IRA balances and annual contributions.

Health Savings Account
Enter your estimated monthly benefit from your SSA.gov statement at Full Retirement Age (FRA). The calculator will derive reduced (62) and maximum (70) benefits automatically.
Spouse (optional)
If you have a defined benefit pension (government, military, teacher), enter the expected monthly payout.
Healthcare is the largest structural cost in US retirement. If you retire before 65, you'll need private insurance until Medicare eligibility.
Default estimates: Pre-Medicare ~$12,000/yr (ACA Silver plan), Medicare ~$550/mo (Parts B + D + Medigap). High-income retirees may pay IRMAA surcharges on top of standard Medicare premiums.
