A BETTER STARTING POINT

Understand your position.
Choose your next move.

These simple tools make assumptions visible. Use them as conversation starters and planning aids, then build a fuller plan that accounts for your personal circumstances.

01 / Financial independence

Explore a planning target.

Estimate the portfolio needed to cover annual spending not met by other dependable income. Compare assumptions rather than treating one number as a promise.

Illustrative portfolio target

$1,714,286

$60,000 annual gap ÷ 3.5% starting withdrawal rate.

Simple first-year estimate: max(annual spending − other income, 0) ÷ withdrawal rate. Excludes future inflation, investment fees, changing tax rules, market losses, and sequence risk. A real retirement plan needs stress testing. Inputs stay in this browser tab and are not saved or sent to us.

02 / Financial resilience

Know your financial runway.

See how long available cash could cover an essential monthly shortfall. Useful when a job changes, an income stream slows, or you’re planning a transition.

Estimated cash runway

6.0 months

$18,000 available cash ÷ $3,000 monthly gap.

Cash ÷ max(essential costs − dependable income, 0). A zero gap means modeled income covers these costs; it does not establish permanent financial security. Excludes unexpected expenses, changing benefits, inflation, and taxes not included in your inputs. Inputs are not saved or sent to us.
