Find out how much you can spend, before you retire

Most retirement calculators assume one average return. Income Horizon replays your savings and spending through every real market since 1928, including the Depression, the 1970s and 2008, and shows how often your plan would have lasted.

Then it shows you better ways to take money out: guardrails that adjust spending a little with the market, a cash bucket so you don’t sell in a crash, and our combined plan that uses both.

  • See your odds honestly. How many past retirements your plan would have survived, and the hardest ones.
  • Find your spending range. How far you could push spending with guardrails, and the lowest it would go.
  • Size your cash bucket. We recommend 3 to 5 years of spending, and show you why for your numbers.
  • Compare strategies side by side. Fixed spending, guardrails, buckets and the combined plan, on your savings.

Plus · Coming soon

A plan only helps if you follow it. Plus keeps you on track every year.

Retirement isn’t one decision. Each year, markets move, prices rise and your cash bucket runs down. Plus turns your rules into a short check-in every January, so you always know what to do next, and why.

  1. January reminder. We let you know your yearly review is due.
  2. Five-minute check-in. Enter your balances and last year’s spending.
  3. Your update. Trim, hold or give yourself a raise, under the rules you chose.
  4. Your cash plan. How much to move to your cash bucket, built up gradually if you need it.
  5. Your printable plan. Updated and ready for your advisor, any time.

Common questions

Is the free plan really free?

Yes. Enter your email address and the whole planner unlocks: every retirement since 1928, guardrails, buckets, the combined plan and the strategy comparison. The calculators on our tools pages don’t need an email at all.

When will Plus be available?

Plus is coming soon. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you when it opens. Nothing is charged to join the waitlist, and joining also unlocks the free planner.

What’s in the printable plan?

A few pages built from your own numbers: your spending rules step by step, how your plan held up in famous market crashes, the lowest your spending would have gone, what would change your plan, and questions for your advisor. You can see a sample before you buy.

Do I need Plus if I’m already retired?

You don’t need it, but it’s built for you. Live mode turns your rules into a short yearly check-in: enter a few numbers each January and it tells you whether to trim, hold or raise spending and whether to refill your cash bucket.

Is this financial advice?

No. Income Horizon is an educational tool that tests plans against market history. It doesn’t consider taxes or your full situation, so we encourage you to review decisions with a fiduciary financial professional. The printable plan is designed to make that conversation easier.

Where are my numbers stored?

The planner runs in your browser, and the numbers you enter stay on your device. Your email address is used to unlock the planner and, if you choose, to send the newsletter.
