Retirement Replay

A retirement run through every market Canada has on record. Instead of one averaged projection, it replays your plan into 1966, 1981, 2008, and every other start year, then counts how many of those retirements the money outlasts.

  • Every Canadian start year since 1956, in today's dollars
  • CPP, OAS, RRIF minimums and the clawback in the math
  • Four withdrawal strategies, from constant dollars to guardrails
  • Survival odds from Statistics Canada life tables

Portfolio Analyzer

A single x-ray of your ETF portfolio. Pick the funds you hold and it reads back the blended fee you pay, your true country and asset mix once every fund is looked through, where your holdings double up, and how much foreign withholding tax each fund loses in an RRSP, a TFSA, or a taxable account.

  • Blended MER, plus the annual and lifetime dollar drag
  • Your true country and asset mix after every fund is looked through
  • Fund overlap: the regions you hold more than once
  • Foreign withholding tax by account: RRSP, TFSA, and taxable

The Personal Finance Stress Index

Most tools on this page run on your numbers. The index runs on the country’s. It scores how much financial pressure Canadian households are under, from 0 (calm) to 100 (severe), and draws on seven public indicators from housing affordability and groceries against wages to insolvencies and the savings cushion.
