Problem

When a 57-year-old corporate office worker tries to calculate their actual monthly take-home pay during the 5-year gap between retirement at 60 and National Pension eligibility at 65, they must check severance pay (lump sum vs. annuity options), unemployment benefits (duration and amount), Retirement Pension (after-tax for DB/DC plans), and private pension (payout start timing) across separate institutional websites and manually combine them in Excel. This process takes an average of 8-12 hours, and calculation errors frequently lead to premature depletion of severance funds.

Solution

Enter your retirement date, severance pay, pension enrollment details, and expected living expenses to automatically visualize monthly take-home cash flow for the 60 months (5 years) post-retirement. Suggests optimal withdrawal order and timing for each income source (severance installments, unemployment benefits, IRP withdrawals, private pension), and displays part-time/Freelancer income targets needed during 'income gap' periods.

Target: Ages 55-60, corporate or public enterprise office workers, 1-3 years before retirement, with spouse and 1-2 adult children, homeowners
