"Thank you for putting in the effort to keep this software going every year! It really "weed's through all of the confusion" and shows the true numbers, so people can make informed decisions."

"...this is the best FERS retirement calculator to use when you want to calculate all of your Federal Retirement benefits. I’ve used this calculator quite a bit, because I think it provides the most thorough look at your complete retirement picture. In fact, I use the professional version of this program to calculate benefits for my Federal Employee clients. They provide me with their personal information, and I do the calculations for them..."
From a Certified Financial Planner who:
(1) teaches classes on CSRS and FERS retirement benefits and (2) works with Federal Employees across the United States to help them get the most out of their federal benefits.

"Your program is right on the money according to OPM estimates.  I am extremely happy with the program and will show it to the DoD civilian firefighters that I work with. Thanks so much for taking the mystery out of our retirements guesstimates."

"Most people I talk to about it really don't understand the federal retirement benefits details. So, every time I study the Benefits Calculator reports, I learn more . Your program has made me think about some things that I really hadn't considered before."

"The help file was awesome. The software is great! I made it through my own projection. I'm taking an early-out this September and this has been invaluable."

From a retiree , "FYI, I retired last Dec. after 38 years. I had used your software for 5 years and had planned exactly where I wanted to be using it. Just wanted to let you know I got my final numbers from OPM several weeks ago and they were within $1.00 of your estimate . Not only did the final estimate help me plan but the insurance portion with respect to FEGLI clearly helped me decide. Without it I don't know what I would have selected, but because of the what if change ability, etc., I am happy with my final decision."

Comment from a financial planner after making her first presentation to a client using the Benefits Calculator report, "My presentation to Jill was a great success. The information that the rest of the Benefits Calculator report analysis presented was GREAT and a learning tool for both she and me. My next 2 clients are a CSRS Special Provision & a Postal Worker."

From a Federal Agency, "Outstanding! We're good to go here. Our Specialists are very happy with your product . We'll be ordering more copies of the software soon."

"I really am getting a lot of use out of the program. It's very helpful to people who have never seen how high their insurance costs are going to be in their retirement years ."

"The Benefits Calculator makes tracking retirement calculations simple with the input of my employment data. Once I put employment information into the Benefit Calculator it was simple to keep track of my retirement annuity, average high-three, creditable service and project TSP funds. This is a great planning tool for the federal employee."

"My husband and I recently purchased the Personal Plus software to calculate potential retirement due to BRAC. We are thrilled with how thorough the software is."

"I am retiring at the end of the year. I used this program for the last 5 years and truly have enjoyed the progress and info that it provided me. I have recommended it highly to any and all that would listen, and I know numerous folks have purchased it. Thank you for a great product."

"Unbelievable turn around time. Thank you very much. I have told my coworkers about your program and now I'll have to mention the great service . I work in a building where most of us will be eligible over the next few years and I believe your program is invaluable."

"I found the CSRS and FERS Benefits Calculator to be extremely helpful as it allows me to do my own "What Ifs ". It has excellent tools for TSP, FEHB, Life Insurance, and LTC."

Remarks concerning the Benefits Calculator report presented to a financial planner's client , "I enjoyed our meeting yesterday, and the Federal Benefits Report information that you provided will be a great help to Lynne and me in planning our financial future."

"I use this program often as I will retire in January. I really like it and have shown examples and recommended to many coworkers. You have great customer support ."

"Thanks John. You provide the best tech help I have ever received!"

One copy of the Personal PLUS can be used by a Husband and a Wife , "We had learned from a friend that it was possible to activate an account for both of us separately and we thought right away that was a Great idea because I am under FERS and Sandy is under CSRS. We are both planning to retire this year and we are eagerly anxious to try out the calculators to see what they have in store for both of us. Again, many thanks for giving us the opportunity for both of us to use the program that will be tailored to our own retirement system."

"I bought and worked with this on my office computer yesterday. Now I'm moving it to my home computer. Thanks for making such a fantastic product !"

"I purchased the benefits calculator about a year ago and really like your product. I normally look at it or update my info around once a month ."

"Your retirement calculator is a real boon to those of us trying to figure out when to retire ."

"It is a great program, and I have told lots of folks who bought and use it."

"Thank you for your time and patience. All went well following your instructions to me. I even accomplished my own retirement analysis today. Appreciate the great service."

From a professional financial planner , "I did a presentation last night and found it extremely useful to have the software with my laptop to do some "What If" scenarios with my clients."

"It's certainly a versatile and useful piece of software. Keep up the good work!"

"I love this program and use it frequently to dream of future financial freedom."

"It was a pleasure speaking with you yesterday and you were very helpful to me. I appreciate your time and patience in making me understand what I was dealing with. I look forward to speaking to you again."
