What makes PortfolioPilot’s retirement planning tool different from others?
Our tool goes far beyond simple savings calculators. It considers your full financial picture — investments, real estate, debt, life events, ongoing expenses, and tax strategies — to give you a more accurate view of retirement readiness.
Is the retirement planning tool really free to use?
Yes. You can use the tool at no cost. We believe everyone should have access to retirement planning that is transparent, comprehensive, and unbiased.
Can I model major life events like marriage, inheritance, or paying for college?
Absolutely. You can add events such as marriage, buying a home, receiving an inheritance, or paying for education. You can even add custom events. These are built directly into the tool so you can see how they affect your retirement plan.
How do I include ongoing expenses such as medical bills or housing costs?
You can enter recurring costs like healthcare, insurance, rent, or mortgage payments. The tool incorporates these expenses to project how they impact your future retirement income and savings.
Can I adjust assumptions like Roth conversions, inflation rates, or advisor fees?
Yes. You’re in control of key assumptions and these are very easy to update. Test scenarios with different inflation rates, Roth conversions, advisor fees, tax rates, and more to see how they affect your retirement outcome.
Does the model account for Social Security and other income sources?
Yes. You can include Social Security, pensions, rental income, or any other income streams in your retirement plan. This ensures your projections are realistic and personalized.
How often does my retirement plan update as markets change?
Your plan updates continuously. As markets, inflation, and your personal details change, the tool refreshes so you always see the most accurate picture of your retirement readiness.
Does the tool help me understand the tax impact of my retirement decisions?
It does. Our tax engine factors in withdrawal strategies, Roth conversions, and account types (taxable, tax-deferred, tax-free) to show you the after-tax impact of your decisions.
How do I know if my plan is on track for a successful retirement?
The tool gives you a retirement readiness score that shows your probability of success. You’ll also receive clear recommendations on how to improve your plan, from optimizing taxes to adjusting contributions or expenses.
