Case studies

Full retirement plans for example Canadians

Each case study follows one example household from the day they stop working, from a single renter with $500,000 to a retiree with $2 million. Their plan runs through Scenario Lab+ on 2026 Canadian tax rules, so every number comes from the software itself.
