What is Retire Countdown?
Retire Countdown helps you track your journey to retirement with a live countdown timer. Built for pension-based retirement planning, the app lets you enter your service details and retirement targets, estimate your monthly pension based on years of service and salary, track milestones, and add a countdown widget to your home screen so your retirement date is always front and center.

Frequently Asked Questions
Retire Countdown is designed for pension-based retirement planning. Enter your service details and retirement targets, and the app handles the rest. We plan to expand support for additional pension systems in future updates.
The estimates are based on publicly available pension formulas and the information you provide (years of service, salary, retirement age). They are intended to give you a general picture and should not be used as official financial advice. Always verify with your pension system's official resources.
No. All data is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. Nothing is transmitted to external servers. Your salary, service dates, and pension details never leave your phone.
Yes — add a countdown widget to your home screen so your retirement date is always visible. The widget displays years, months, and days remaining.
You can create multiple retirement scenarios — for example, comparing retiring at 55 vs. 60, or different service credit assumptions — and see how each affects your estimated pension.
