"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."
"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."
"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."
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."
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."
"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 co-workers 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."
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.
