Question 1 · Where will my next paycheck come from?

Your Retirement Paycheck

A retirement paycheck is often made from several income sources working together. We'll go source by source — just let us know what applies to you.

It's perfectly okay to estimate. You'll have the opportunity to review everything later.

Your retirement income picture is becoming clearer.

Question 2 · What do I do with what I have already saved?

Your Monthly Spending & Debts

Next, let's get a picture of what goes out each month. We'll also look at any debts you're currently paying. For debts that will eventually be paid off, we'll ask approximately when that payment is expected to end. That helps us understand how your monthly needs could change over time.

Housing & Debts

These payments are automatically included in your total monthly spending below — there's no need to enter them again.

Your Regular Monthly Expenses

Now let's look at the regular expenses that make up your monthly lifestyle. Estimates are perfectly fine.

You've just organized another important piece of your retirement plan.

Question 1 · Where will my next paycheck come from?

Your Current Income Picture

Here is how your estimated income and spending compare, based on what you've entered so far.

This does not represent a recommendation. It simply helps identify an area that may deserve a closer look. Many retirement plans use several income sources and savings together — this is just one snapshot in time.

Question 2 · What do I do with what I have already saved?

Your Retirement Savings

We've grouped your retirement resources into a few natural categories. Tell us which apply to you — categories you don't have will simply stay out of the way. If you have a spouse or partner, we'll ask about their accounts separately, so we know who owns what.

Approximate numbers are perfectly fine here. It's okay to estimate — you'll have the opportunity to review everything later.

Your retirement income picture is becoming clearer.

Question 3 · How do I make sure it lasts?

How Are You Feeling About Retirement?

The numbers are only part of the picture. These last few questions help us understand which parts of retirement already feel settled—and which ones you may still have questions about.

There are no right or wrong answers.
