Pricing

The decisions ahead of you are worth six figures. The tools should cost less than a case of beer.

Picking the wrong retirement month can cost you thousands in lifetime COLA. The SBP election is irrevocable and worth over $100,000 in lifetime value for many families. A BRS lump sum taken without a breakeven analysis can quietly give back years of pension. For context: a one-time professional retirement analysis typically costs $1,500–$3,000. We built the same math into software — and it stays current with every pay table, COLA adjustment, and tax bracket change.

Military Retirement Planner is educational software — not financial, tax, or legal advice. Confirm figures with DFAS and a qualified professional before making irrevocable elections.
