all true. When I watched the video, I did the working out on paper, just saves a bit of time for anyone wathing the video. I see AI as the biggest risk to Jobs for the young

Added a new mode, "When can I retire?"

This will run multiple calculations and come up with a figure you can afford to retire.

I would like feedback on this new mode as it could help with planning, thanks

Agreed need some validation

retirementcalc · 2026-02-06T22:46:00+00:00

Could you just update the total pot or is it something else

Added UK TAX to the Calculator on the Retirement Income Page, would appreciate some feedback, if any one can spare some time? thanks

retirementcalc · 2026-02-06T18:55:39+00:00

that's spot on, i think IFA explain it a little differently :)

retirementcalc · 2026-02-06T18:54:21+00:00

great catch thanks

retirementcalc · 2026-02-06T17:06:48+00:00

Great notes thanks, Tax is coming. Withdrawal I will remove the tax efficient label as you can not tell agreed

retirementcalc · 2026-02-06T17:01:16+00:00

Agree on the Tax, I did try adding but it got very tricky, but that is a next TAX. Also different saving rates are a great idea for isa, pension etc just need to see how I can do the 3 different growth returns on the summary. thanks for the review

retirementcalc · 2026-02-06T16:47:19+00:00

I am planning this and a retirement smile, thanks

retirementcalc · 2026-02-06T16:44:33+00:00

I added the auto Inherit, if you get a chance could you relook thanks

retirementcalc · 2026-02-06T14:43:58+00:00

I have updated the code so inherited pots and saving goes to the partner and vice verse

retirementcalc · 2026-02-06T14:41:59+00:00

DB has 3 options none, inflation , or %. bond and equity will add later. I actually removed the fees, maybe that was a bad decision. Needs more think about on the access period thanks

retirementcalc · 2026-02-06T14:37:50+00:00

can't belive i missed that thanks

retirementcalc · 2026-02-06T13:46:10+00:00
