Start with a sample plan, change one number, and see whether the plan gets stronger or weaker. No sign-up required.

Start with a sample plan Change one number See the retirement outcome move

The goal here is a quick first insight, not a long setup. Open a sample plan if you want the payoff first, or enter a few numbers and watch the preview update as you go.

Recommended first path

Most first-time visitors should start with the sample result, see how the planner thinks, and only then switch to their own numbers.

Federal mode loads a guided preview scenario so you can see the bridge-to-Social-Security pattern quickly. Full federal editing lives in the full planner.

Use the federal example if pension plus supplement timing is your main question. Use your own numbers if you already know the assumptions you want to test.

Federal Retirement Preview

This free app shows the shape of a federal plan. The sample uses pension income plus a FERS-style temporary supplement that ends at age 62 before Social Security begins. For full federal editing, use the complete planner.

Quick Start

Start here if you want a fast answer first. Open advanced inputs below when you want spouse income, taxes, pensions, custom account types, or allocation detail.

Federal Pension and Supplement

Use this section to model the core federal timing pattern: pension starts, supplement runs for a few years, then ends before Social Security.

TSP / Government Account Balances Use Total Savings / Investments above for a quick estimate, or open advanced inputs for traditional, Roth, taxable, and cash account detail. Visible now
Pension COLA Editable COLA assumptions are part of the deeper federal workflow in the full planner. Full Planner
Later Pension Change Event Use the full planner when you need an age-based pension step-down, offset, or later change event. Full Planner
Spouse Federal Coordination Spouse pension and Social Security inputs are still available in advanced inputs when you want the fuller household view. Available
Live Preview
Start with the sample and watch how the plan changes when you adjust retirement age, spending, or Social Security.

This quick preview is meant to surface a first pressure point fast: retirement timing, income gap, or future tax drag.

This quick answer is useful, but it is not the whole decision. The full planner shows how fragile this result is, where the plan gets into trouble, and which changes actually improve retirement safety.

If this answer matters, the next step is testing whether it stays safe when timing, spending, or market conditions shift.
