Hirosani - Fabulous app for military retirees
Awesome app for calculating military retirement pay with federal taxes along with disability and SBP. Although there is no state calculation with this app, the federal calculation was a good estimate of what my federal AND state taxes would be combined since the number given was higher than what I pay in my circumstance i.e. married with one child, filing jointly and my spouse does not work. Even in retirement I find the app useful, especially when calculating changes in disability pay or doing calculations for friends. Very useful app that every veteran should have. Thank you.
Scott & Brenda F. - Handy tool - Great for those close to retirement
Great little reference for those looking at retirement. It’s not 100% accurate, but it’s extremely close! I am using this as an idea of what my income looks like post retirement so that I can budget according. I have recommended to many military fiends in the same situation. Worth the $5.99, TRUST ME! Far earlier then trying to figure out all the math on your own.
Kgigidy - Honest Review
App is expensive for what it does but it’s good at what it does. It’s accurate, helps you plan, and gives you an ideal of estimated benefits. You can get all the same information through the VA site but this is in your pocket when you need it. Downside, once you know your rating and you are being paid the app no longer serves a purpose.
A. Tice - Really good budgeting tool for military retirement
This app allows you to input your information and then instantly calculates what will you can expect to get after retirement. You can save multiple options to help you make better choices for when to retire. I wish there was a tool that calculated medical retirement as well.
Jonesy11C - Incredible Tool for Career Planning
This app was invaluable while I was seriously thinking about continuing my career. This even allows for modified calculations for those service members that began their military journey as members of the Reserves or National Guard prior to joining the active component or AGR program. I have shared this app and recommended it to anyone I personally knew that was at the retirement decision point.
Dave see - Must Have Retirement Tool
If you are planning for retirement you NEED this app. It gives you accurate information and allows you to play with the numbers to see how things will affect you. I have shared this app with numerous people since I found it and all are extremely happy with it. Keep up the good work!
JW Alan - Needs < 20 yr Retirement Pay
This is a great app, BUT I really wish they’d add retirement pay for those that end up serving less than 20 years. I was able to retire through the Temporary Early Retirement Authority (TERA) Program. So my retirement Time in Service is at 17 years 3 months. There are simple math calculations that determine the pay amount that i think could be easily instituted in an update. Without that, I just paid $5.99 for this app and it’s not accurate whatsoever for me.
Metalis34 - Piece of mind
I’ve used this application from the point I knew I was going to retire. It has provided piece of mind through the entire retirement process! Playing with the number really allows you to see where you stand financially. Great app!! Recommend to everyone I know.
Luckey808 - Definitely worth it 👍🏼
This is the best military retirement calculator I’ve seen to date, and I’ve been on the search for years to find one that calculated a reserve retirement. No more more need to use NSIPS or the dumb math formula that doesn’t account for taxes or inflation. Definitely worth $6 👍
Cns_kinser - Great App
This is a great app to have when no one will help you figure out your retirement pay and the calculations through DFAS don’t take account for REDUX. The one that doesn’t let you use a previous date. I would like to use my pay date for the calculation because your TAFMSD is not always the same as in my case. Other than that I like it and Thank You for developing something that comes closer to figuring this out than DFAS does.
Tiggatann - VERY Useful App!
The only thing that keeps this from being 5 stars is both the phone and ipad apps are very glitchy at times and it often freezes during swift use. If you could, please add a feature where you can shift the order of the disabilities. This would be VERY helpful.
Nuahs12 - Great App
Awesome application that gives you a good snapshot of benefits. Would recommend including the ability to add any Special Compensation payments as either a drop down option or value. Additionally, include another category to add any additional income (rental income, annuity, dividends etc).
Zino_ramirez - Reliable
Had this app before I retired from the military to provide me outlook on my financial stability after leaving service, all the number’s were spot on. Thanks for keeping this app updated.
KSaintJ - Great for Guard too!
So often there’s an app or website that’s geared towards the military, but when you check it out, it’s limited to the active component.
Not this one - very pleased to discover it addresses the points and proration for Guard and reserve. Was equally pleased to see how well aligned the results are to my own excel tracking...this is much easier than excel.
Nosurf2day - This app is TOP NOTCH!
I am constantly reviewing this app as I game-plan my retirement.
What I really like is that the user can create separate profiles for various scenarios as a quick comparison reference.
Bottom line, if you are entertaining retirement, this app is a must in helping you with your life changing decision.
Retire in 20? - Great tool for retirement planning
I rarely if ever pay for apps but this one is well worth the money spent. With the ability to pick time in service to the month or years in a pay grade, you get to completely customize to your retirement situation.
Shannon's stuff - Very informative!!
As I approach retirement, this has helped in deciding what state we are deciding on. I’d recommend putting in property tax options, with additional VA breaks on property tax, with many others, I’d certainly be willing to pay for that option.
CDA271939 - Excellent Planning Tool & Spot On 👍
Helped me plan for retirement and understand exactly what my compensation would be. I knew what my payments would be before I started getting them because of this app. This included the VA disability pay. Highly recommended app for those on the cusp of retirement. S/F
Azim-Kazim - One minute used and never touched again
What a waste of money. The app downloaded in seconds so from the jump you know there isn’t much in the app, and as I thumb through it I see I’m right. Within a minute opening the app I explored every option in it. What a disgrace for this app developer to cheat us proud serving military folk out of 5.99. This app is worth maybe $0.99 if not free. It took me longer to write this than to fully explore this app. 🤦🏾♂️
Keepyawet3000 - Not completely Accurate
This app optimistically attempts to give you an idea of your military retirement. As service member this could be a powerful tool to assist in the planning as we transition out of the military. That planning could be flawed if the numbers are providing incorrect data. Such is the point here.
Recommendations: conduct a measurement of accuracy and have the application reflect true data.
RedlegRanger88 - Latest update corrected!
Update: issue fixed- it is now functioning as designed.
Just did the latest update (released 23 Jan 2018) and it has stopped working. All the fields remain blank after selecting different inputs to calculate monthly retirement income.
Bri B RAD - Great App and very accurate
I used this app when I knew I was retiring from the military and it was right on the money when it came to estimating what I would receive monthly.
It is very accurate and up-to-date well done
Raffa2305 - User friendly
The user interface is extremely easy to use. Filled with very useful information. Worth the money.
Bad spree - Fast, easy, and accurate
The app is easy to navigate, once info is plugged in its fast, and gives an accurate picture of what your retirement pay will look like. Excellent job!
Libertariansailor1 - Planning
I really like the easy function. The only thing I wish this app had was computing FICA/Medicare taxes to give you an even closer to accurate pay schedule.
Mr Andy3333 - Not up-to-date
If you’ve ever had any broken time of service in this app will not help you. It is not take into account your armed forces active duty base date with your time in service.
I brought this to the attention of the app developers and they said that they would work on a solution for next year. I requested a full refund and have not gotten a reply in over a week.
CjmXjm - Spot on
30 years 1 week active. Retired. This app is within $1 of what my pay is. That’s because they only break time down by months.
Excellent! Got VA disability, SBP, and all else correct. Be cautious of Fed tax though as your situation will vary.
Fozzytb - Useful for all transitioning service members
Finally a definitive answer to retiring service members wondering what to expect in compensation. Negotiating the multiple classes and websites can be frustrating and confusing. This app was a tremendous help.
Civil war buff 67 - Useful
.it’s a good tool to estimate compensation. Not sure it updates well though. I’ve had the app for three years, says it’s up to date but doesn’t seem to be as accurate as it should.
Ready500 - Great app but missing prior military experience
The site is great for simple data input but lacks the ability to account for prior experience. For instance, prior reserve time may increase pay but not count for retirement time on active duty. The increase in pay has the affect of increasing the Member’s high three due to the increase in pay.
Ltc mason - Getting ready to retire
A great, accurate app that will show you to the dollar what you should receive in retirement. Helps me plan out various things as I get ready to retire in about 18 months.
Airmanpre - A great little app!
This is a great little app that I often come back to to play around with. I hope this app updates on the new year to account for the 2020 payraise. Thanks again! Paul
Mylife1234 - Date of Rank
Can you add the date of rank which will provide a more accurate retirement pay when considering high 3? I’m an E-8 but will only have 2 years calculated as an E-8 and the call doesn’t take that into consideration.
You unoriginal bastard - Decent app
It’s great info but there needs to be greater flexibility for retirees who have national guard/reserve and active duty time. For example if you have 4 years of guard time and 20 years active time you get 50% base pay of 24 years of service. Currently that functionality doesn’t exist on your app.
CGrubicon - Great app
Missing some health care options like Tricare Select cost options. Would be that much better of an app if it included other healthcare cost options other than Prime Individual and Prime Family for non reserve members.
Buhner91 - Great, but needs to be updated
It will give you a good over view, but it needs to be updated. Taxes taken out are too high and the most recent pay raise hasn’t been taken into account.
Joshaf1 - Excellent App for calculating military retirement pay!
I'm going through TAP class right now, and this app has stayed up to date for all the dollar amounts throughout the class!
Janciehorse - Best app ever!!!!!
Thank you for this treasure! I discovered an error in my retirement pay because if this app. Your app is spot on dead accurate. Keep up the great work!
Rater rater rater - Update for 2023
This app needs an update for the new rates!
This app would get 5 stars if it included a calculator for combined via disability rating inclusive of bilateral factor. The VA app by the same organization doesn’t really give a full picture either.
Gudad - Worth it
For the amount of times I have use this app the money was worth it. It is accurate
Maucherri - Outstanding
I recommend this app to every military personnel, specially those who already now the time is coming sooner than not!
Kcinmt123 - Great App- needs to allow user to break it down more
I was in the reserves for 7 years before going active duty. Calculator won’t allow me to separate time in service from pay base date.
Aperson-83 - Not worth the price
The app is easy to use and calculations are pretty accurate however, once you plug in your data there is nothing more. It basically becomes a picture saved on your phone that cost way more than it should. Don’t get the app there are other free apps that are just as accurate.
Reg6151 - Retirement Pay Amount
The annual retirement pay (COLA) has not been updated. The disability amount was updated based on 2022 amounts, but the retirement hasn’t changed in two years.
Quiz machine - Thanks
They need to add a category for federal technicians too. It’s be a good tool for Fed techs. It’s be more added value for military who retire and or Guardsmen/Reservists who earn dual retirements. The current app only captures part of their retirement in those cases. You might consider adding a TSP category too. Then it’d be a total pay look for retirement.
Haha Best game EVA!! - Satisfied Customer
Very helpful and reliable close to actual payments
Bobby Whi - Bobby Whi
This App is awesome. It has saved me hours and hours of searching and compiling information on the web.
Salty WO - Not bad, missing one critical point
This app works well, but fails to address individuals that retire with only two years at their present grade. For example: A CW3 with 22 years of service, but only two years time in grade will not get an accurate accounting of their HIGH 3 compensation.
Ate1530 - Medical retirement <20yrs service
There should be an option to select a <20yrs service option so it doesn’t add in a retirement payment. Just confuses things... medical retirements are becoming more common with the “deploy or get out”.
SSenkbeil - After 4 years the app has always been off
When attempting to contact developer the app shuts down as that part is broke. Numbers always off, sometime wildly. Most suspect is the preloaded “suggested” review praising the app that appears when I went to review the app. Nonetheless it is a great concept and full of potential.
