Problem

As the AI paradox debate intensifies, office workers in their mid-to-late 50s at large and mid-sized companies sense that their roles may be reduced or consolidated within 2-3 years, but they cannot easily compare how severance pay interim settlements, DC plan conversions, unemployment benefits, and reemployment subsidies differ across scenarios such as 'voluntary redundancy vs. early retirement vs. staying until retirement age.' Asking HR is sensitive, labor attorney consultations cost 100,000-300,000 KRW (approx. $75-$225) per case, and online information is generic, requiring 3-4 days of browsing multiple sites to get numbers tailored to their situation.

Solution

By entering years of service, current salary, retirement pension type (DB/DC), and expected retirement date on the web, the service displays a comparison table of after-tax severance pay, unemployment benefit duration and amounts, and health insurance conversion costs across four scenarios: voluntary redundancy, early retirement, retirement at retirement age, and voluntary resignation. It also provides a checklist of easily overlooked benefits in each scenario (e.g., mandatory reemployment support services, outplacement support subsidies).

Target: Office workers aged 52-58 at large and mid-sized companies, employees who recognize the possibility of departmental restructuring due to AI adoption, and households with a spouse and unmarried adult children.
Revenue Model: Basic 4-scenario comparison is free. Detailed PDF report (including after-tax monthly cash flow) at 5,000 KRW (approx. $3.75) per report, plus referral fees for connecting labor attorneys.
