01

Price the spending

What you plan to spend in retirement is a bill that falls due year after year. It has a price today, set by interest rates after inflation, not by guesswork about market returns.

02

Measure the ratio

Your money over what it costs. Above 100%, your spending is funded at today's prices. Below it, you know the gap in years.

03

See what to fix

A probability of success can't tell you what's wrong, or what a market fall in your first retirement years would actually cost you. A priced answer can.

Wealth is a means. Income is the end. The industry makes you stare at a big uncertain pot; what you actually want to know is whether your life is funded.
