Designed to feel guided, not overwhelming

People should be able to start with the basics, move through the process in stages, and only open up the deeper assumptions when they actually need them.

This is the direction now being built into the RetireAI experience.

1

Free check + spending

Start lightly, then build the household spending picture that becomes the base for retirement income targets.

2

Household basics

Capture single/couple status, homeowner status, and ages so the calculator can apply the right retirement and pension context.

3

Super and income targets

Add super balances, salaries, contributions, and target income bands so the pathway has real numbers behind it.

4

Timing, assets, and pension assumptions

Add other assessable income, employment income, drawdown timing, financial assets, non-financial assets, CPI stress, and fee assumptions.

5

Unlock the PDF stack

Save the scenario, generate the plain-English report, and leave with assumptions, warnings, and adviser/Services Australia check questions.

What makes the RetireAI flow different.

Less overwhelm

People do not need to know every pension term before they start. The process should teach while it guides.

Better edge-case handling

Mixed-age couples, different retirement dates, employment after pension age, and foreign-pension flags matter. The flow is being built around those real-world wrinkles.
