What You'll Work Through

The Planner walks you through the key pieces of your retirement picture, one simple step at a time.

Your Household

Start with where you are today — your retirement timing, household, and who you're planning for.

Your Income Picture

See the income you can already count on in retirement, including Social Security, pensions, and other income sources.

Your Retirement Savings

Bring together the retirement savings you've built over the years, including 401(k)s, IRAs, and other retirement accounts.

Your Priorities

Think about what you want retirement to look like and what matters most as you plan for the years ahead.

Where This Fits In

Whether you started with the Guide or came straight to the Planner, this is where the ideas become personal. The Planner helps you organize your numbers and priorities into a clearer picture of your retirement. When you're finished, you'll receive your Retirement Income Snapshot. If you'd like help understanding your completed Snapshot, you can choose to schedule a Retirement Income Review.

Optional Next Step: Retirement Income Review — when you're ready, review your snapshot together and talk through next steps. Footer notes: you're in control, go at your own pace, your information stays private, use what's helpful and skip what's not.

What to Expect

Go at Your Own Pace

Work through the Planner when it's convenient for you.

Come Back If You Need To

Your progress can stay on this device for a limited time, so you don't have to finish everything at once.

Use What You Know

You don't need to have every number or document in front of you. Answer what you can, and the Planner will only show questions that apply to your situation.

The Payoff

See Your Retirement Income Snapshot

When you finish, you'll receive your Retirement Income Snapshot — a clear, organized picture of where things stand today. It's yours to save or print, whatever you decide to do next.

  • How your income and expenses fit together
  • Where your retirement savings stand today
  • Areas worth exploring further
