What It Estimates

One first pass should answer the questions that shape the decision.

Start with rough inputs. FERSCalc turns them into a monthly income picture, retirement-date comparison, and cash-flow breakdown you can refine later.

Monthly income

See estimated year-one retirement income after taxes and FEHB.

Date comparison

Compare one retirement date against another without losing your first result.

Cash-flow detail

Review pension, TSP, Social Security, Medicare, and taxes in one place.

What You Need

Start with five rough facts.

Exact values help, but they are not required for a first pass. FERSCalc is built for iteration.

  • Date of birth and planned retirement date
  • Federal service start date
  • Current salary or High-3 estimate
  • TSP balances and rough withdrawal plan
  • Social Security estimate, if you have one

Spouse planning, comparison dates, Medicare, Roth conversions, and stress testing can be added after the basic estimate is working.

Depth On Demand

The advanced planning tools are still there.

FERSCalc keeps the first step simple without hiding the details. Detailed modeling stays available after you get a useful first estimate.

  • TSP source-order comparisons
  • Roth conversion windows
  • Monte Carlo stress testing
  • 6C special-category retirement support
  • Printable reports and CSV export
