Longevity + Cash-Flow Tool

The Retirement Runway — Personalized Money-Lasts-Until Tracker

Show retirees the number they actually obsess over: how long the money lasts. This tracker models runway under optimistic, baseline, and stress-tested conditions using savings, withdrawals, inflation, returns, and local longevity framing.

Three scenario runway dates

County life expectancy framing

Saved portal report + print-ready summary

See the date your money is projected to run out.

This tracker estimates how long current savings can support withdrawals under optimistic, baseline, and stress-tested conditions, then saves the result as a portal report.

Step 1 of 3

Whose retirement runway are we modeling?

These inputs set the report identity and the longevity comparison used in the summary.

Your Name

State

County

Current Age

What you get A projected runway date, scenario comparisons, and clear explanations for why the runway expands or contracts.

Why people come back A runway number feels urgent. If it moves, retirees want to know why immediately.

What comes later Live inflation, rate, and regional cost updates that can trigger monthly email changes automatically.

Step 2 of 3

What are the core money inputs?

These are the mechanical assumptions: starting assets, spending, guaranteed income, and expected portfolio return.

Investable Savings

Planned Monthly Withdrawal

Monthly Guaranteed Income

Social Security, pension, annuity income, or other predictable income.

Expected Annual Return %

Portfolio Mix / Notes

Step 3 of 3

How should we stress test the runway?

This is where the runway becomes sticky: a better month can extend it, and a worse month can shorten it.

Baseline Inflation %

Stress Inflation %

Regional Cost Tier

Primary Concern

Optimistic Moderately better returns, steadier inflation, and shorter drawdown pressure.

Baseline Your entered return and inflation assumptions, adjusted for local cost pressure.

Stress-tested Lower returns, higher inflation, and longer-life assumptions pushing the runway harder.

Money-Lasts-Until Tracker

The Retirement Runway

A saved runway projection showing how long current assets may last under three scenario paths.

County benchmark —

Generated —

Your money does not just need to grow. It needs to last.

This report converts your current savings and withdrawal pattern into a projected runway date, then shows how the runway changes when inflation, returns, and longevity shift.

Longevity Check

How the runway compares with local life expectancy

Your baseline runway is compared with a local longevity benchmark so you can see whether the plan ends before, near, or after the likely planning horizon.

Section 1

Runway Scenarios

The same household can have three very different retirement outcomes depending on returns, inflation, and lifespan pressure.

Section 2

Checkpoints Along the Runway

These balances give the user an intuitive feel for how fast the runway narrows if conditions stay roughly on plan.

Section 3

What is stretching or shrinking the runway?

These are the drivers users can understand without reading an actuarial appendix.

Section 4

Plan Comparison

This simplifies the retirement math into the three numbers the user actually wants to compare.
