What is the Lifetime Cash Flow Simulator?

A free browser-based cash flow simulator that models your income, expenses, and asset changes year by year from now through life expectancy. Set up multiple income streams like salary, pension, and investment returns alongside expenses, taxes, and life events, then visualize how your cash flow structure changes before and after retirement with interactive Sankey diagrams. With automatic tax calculations for income tax, capital gains, and dividends, you get a realistic retirement simulation.

How It Works

Each year, net cash flow (income minus expenses) is calculated and investment returns are applied to assets. After retirement, income becomes zero and living expenses are drawn from assets.

The Sankey diagram visualizes the annual cash flow structure at your selected age.

Savings Rate & Years to Retirement

The higher your savings rate, the more rapidly your time to retirement shrinks.
