You may have saved consistently for decades. One question can still remain:

Am I actually ready to retire?

It’s not just about how much you’ve saved. It’s also whether the major parts of your retirement plan have been considered together.

  • Will your income arrive when you expect it?
  • Have taxes on withdrawals been considered?
  • Does your investment approach reflect your retirement timeline?
  • If you’re planning with someone, are you working from the same assumptions?

You may feel clear about some of these questions and less certain about others. The assessment can help you see where you might want to take a closer look.

What the assessment covers

You’ll rate 25 statements across five areas:

  • Retirement income
  • Taxes and withdrawals
  • Investment risk
  • Retirement timing
  • Coordination between the pieces

At the end, you’ll receive a Retirement Confidence Score out of 100, along with a breakdown by planning area.

What your score means

The score is not a grade on your wealth or a prediction of whether you can retire. It reflects how clearly you feel the major parts of your plan have been considered together.

Your category breakdown may be more useful than the overall number. It can help you identify which topics feel clear and which questions you may want to explore further.

There are no right or wrong answers. The goal is clarity, not perfection.

How it works

  1. Answer a few introductory questions about your retirement timeline and planning situation.
  2. Rate 25 statements across the five planning areas.
  3. Enter your email address to receive your score and results summary.
  4. Review the areas you may want to explore further.

The assessment takes approximately five minutes. You don’t need account statements or investment information to complete it.

Who it’s for

The assessment is designed for people within approximately 10 years of retirement, as well as people who are already retired and want to revisit how their plan is working.

Individuals and couples are welcome. If you’re planning with a spouse or partner, you may each want to complete the assessment separately and compare your answers. Differences can point to useful questions to discuss.
