Retirement planning

About

Most Canadians don't have a retirement plan. We're changing that.

Retirement planning should be simple. Instead, it's confusing, expensive, and intimidating, so most people just don't do it.

FI Plan is a free tool that builds you a professional, personalized retirement plan in under 10 minutes. No financial jargon. No complicated math. No sign-ups or credit cards.

Just answer a few straightforward questions about your life, your savings, and your goals. FI Plan handles the rest, factoring in CPP, OAS, taxes, inflation, investment returns, and more. It shows you:

  1. 1 How much you'll need to retire and how much to save each month to get there, or
  2. 2 If you're already retired, how long your money will last and what your net worth looks like over time.

Run as many "what-if" scenarios as you like until you find a plan that works for you. Every number is traceable, every assumption is transparent, and every result is yours to keep.

FI Plan comes in two tiers: Free and Premium. Both give you the exact same retirement plan, the same projections, and the same quality of results. The only difference is convenience. Premium lets you create a secure account so you can save your plans, revisit them anytime from any device, and compare up to 10 scenarios. Free uses browser cookies to remember your data and lets you compare up to 3 scenarios at a time. The planning experience itself is identical, because we believe the quality of your retirement plan should never depend on what you pay.
