Retirement Planner

Retirement Planner

Retirement planning is two questions: when can you stop working, and how should you spend down your accounts once you do? This tool connects both sides of that coin.

Start in Accumulation to estimate your FIRE age and portfolio target. Switch toWithdrawal to model drawdown — your FIRE portfolio auto-fills and you set the TFSA / RRSP / non-reg split by percentage. Changes on either tab stay in sync.
