Retirement budget & spending you can evolve

Map expenses at the frequency you live with — weekly, fortnightly, or yearly — and use expense profiles to reflect quieter or more active phases of retirement. See how spending interacts with NZ Super, drawdowns, and tax over time.

Retirement expense plan: starting budget, phased spending, care overlay, and expense profile preview chart

Static calculators often assume flat spending forever. RetireMe is built for the reality that your lifestyle — and costs like healthcare — change as you age. Model phased spending, lifestyle intensity, public RCS-style care settings, and a care overlay with a clear expense profile preview (nominal or NPV).

Retirement rules: category by category

Map today’s spending into retirement: full amount, exclude, percentage, or fixed — then apply across your expense tracker.

Every category can reflect how retirement might really look: less on transport, more on travel, essentials at 100%, fees excluded. Apply rules in one action and keep your plan aligned with how you actually live.

Expense Tracker: actuals vs retirement overlay

See monthly actuals against a retirement-adjusted line, plus a long-run trajectory with target and interpolated path to your retirement date.

Tracker: actual expenses vs retirement overlay, trajectory to target, and gap summary

The tracker closes the loop between tracking and planning: retirement-equivalent spend, gap to your plan target, and a clear monthly path — not just a static budget figure.
