Derivation Chain

Step 1 Job insecurity in the AI era
Step 2 Acceleration of early retirement among 50s
Step 3 Designing diversified income sources after retirement
Step 4 Optimizing after-tax cash flow by combining pension, earned income, and financial income

Problem

A 57-year-old early retiree needs to combine National Pension (with choice of start date), retirement pension (lump sum vs. annuity), personal pension, part-time earned income, and financial income to secure 3.5 million KRW (~$2,625) per month for living expenses. Since each income source has different tax brackets and health insurance premium calculation criteria, changing the combination can result in a difference of 500,000-800,000 KRW (~$375-600) per month in after-tax take-home pay. Currently, the only way to optimize this combination is through a paid financial planner (300,000-500,000 KRW (~$225-375) per session), and doing it yourself requires visiting three websites (National Pension Service, National Tax Service, and National Health Insurance Service) and takes 5-6 hours.

Solution

On the web, (1) input expected pension amount, severance pay, financial assets, and desired earned income, then (2) automatically calculate monthly after-tax take-home pay and health insurance premiums for scenarios such as age 60, 62, and 65, and (3) present the top 3 optimal combinations in a comparison table. A realistic simulation that reflects National Pension start date, retirement pension payout method, and separate taxation criteria for financial income.

Target: Aged 55-62, planning retirement from large corporations or public enterprises or just retired, currently planning post-retirement finances with a spouse, and middle-class individuals who find financial planner fees burdensome.
Revenue Model: Basic simulation (1 scenario) is free. Comparison of 3 scenarios + PDF report download: 5,000 KRW (~$3.75) per transaction. Monthly subscription for unlimited simulations: 9,900 KRW (~$7.43) per month.
