What's new · v5.1 · September 2026

Your plan, kept current

Four additions that help a plan keep up with your life. All of them are included on the Free plan.

New

Plan progress check

Your review now puts today’s savings and investments next to what your first plan projected for this year, replayed with the same inputs and assumptions. Home equity is left out on both sides, so the gap is the real one.

New

Events that move with your plan

Tie a one-time expense or windfall to your retirement, a Social Security claim, or Medicare. “A new car when I retire” follows your retirement date when you change it, and the editor shows the year it lands on today.

Milestones on your charts

New

Your Social Security claim and the year Medicare begins are now marked alongside retirement, the years that change the shape of the lines. Milestones in the same year share one label.

Spending Phases

Model realistic retirement spending

Your spending won't stay flat for 30 years. fidser. models the natural decline in spending as you move through retirement phases — from active "Go-Go" years to quieter "No-Go" years.

  • Go-Go years (65-75): Full spending on travel & activities
  • Slow-Go years (75-85): 85% of initial spending
  • No-Go years (85+): 75% as activity decreases
  • More realistic than flat spending assumptions

Retirement spending phases

Annual spending adjusted for lifestyle changes

Phased spending
Flat spending

Most calculators assume flat spending — but research shows retirees naturally spend less as they age. fidser. models this reality for more accurate projections.

Spending phase percentages are illustrative examples based on retirement research. Your actual spending patterns may vary. This is for educational purposes only.
