How pace works

  1. Build your plan

    Savings, income, Social Security and spending. The planner shows if it lasts.

  2. Check in monthly

    Two minutes: type in your balances. No bank login, ever.

  3. See your pace

    Ahead or behind, why, and what it would take to get back on track.

Track your pace every month

RetirementPace Plus saves your plan to your account, tracks your real balances each month and emails you a short pace report: $4 a month or $39 a year. The planner stays free.
