FAQ

Questions from the vault

Is this financial advice?

No. Fatal Retirement gives illustrative estimates for education only. It is not financial, tax, or legal advice.

Does it connect to my bank or my 401(k)?

No. Balances are not linked to real accounts. You keep them up to date yourself, with the Update balance button.

Where are my numbers kept?

On your device. There's no account and no sign-up, and nothing is sent to a server.

What do I have to enter?

Just your age and at least one balance. Everything else is optional, and "Not sure" uses typical numbers, clearly labeled.

I'm already retired. Does it work for me?

Yes. It works for people still working or already retired, and there's a rule-of-55 option with an explanation.

Does it handle taxes?

It uses 2026 federal brackets, Traditional vs Roth, an optional state %, and required minimum distributions (RMDs). Healthcare costs, including Medicare, are in there too.

Does it show stock prices?

No market prices. The Today, Markets and News tabs use free official government data only: Treasury yields, the Fed rate, the Fed/BLS release calendar (CPI, jobs), government headlines and SEC filings for popular stocks, updated every weekday.

Does it cost anything?

It's free. If you'd like to help, donate with PayPal. Never required.
