Compare retirement scenarios instead of relying on a single forecast.
Directory open. Calculators in development. The links below connect published topic directories. Calculator pages are linked below and clearly marked as in development until their working tools are ready.
What this directory covers
A long-term retirement plan connects spending, pensions, saving and uncertainty. A change in retirement age, investment return or household circumstances can affect the outcome. A modelled balance at one future date does not show every risk along the way.
Information to gather
Gather current assets, expected contributions, pension information, desired retirement dates and a spending estimate. State whether amounts are in today’s dollars or future dollars. Use comparable assumptions when evaluating a workplace-pension option or a registered-account strategy.
- Current assets and future contributions
- Workplace and government-pension estimates
- Retirement dates and planning horizon
- Spending in a stated dollar basis
- Investment, inflation and tax assumptions
Important boundaries and next steps
Scenario analysis helps reveal trade-offs, but cannot guarantee a sustainable withdrawal or future market result. Use public pensions and registered-account decumulation for details behind specific income sources, then return here to compare the overall plan.
