From what I can tell, this is only usable for US citizens, right? A load off those terms don't make sense in a social state like most western countries

Thank you for the feedback. We will make this more clear.

One of the features we have built to make planning more accurate is code up taxes (state, federa, account contribution limits, tax deductibility limits, taxes on withdrawals etc, etc, etc). We think this differentiates us from other simpler calculators that do a simple calculation of assets + savings * years. However, this does mean it is tailored to the US.

We have had few requests for UK and Canada. While there are differences the broad principles are the same. What country would you be interested in?

A FIRE relevant form of the classic double Irish Dutch sandwich updated for a Trumpian dystopia perhaps?

I kid ...

Will add the double sandwich the backlog .... Might not be the next version =)

On a serious note - we have had two somewhat relevant requests 1) if I retire in a different state in the US and 2) if I retire in a different country

#1 is easy for us to add. Unsurprisingly, it makes a materials difference. Particularly comparing CA to a 0 tax state like WA and the retirement income is high and this is amplified if the assets were accumulated in taxable accounts.

I'm retired with tangible assets and land in quasi rural Australia .. so this is largely moot to me, however ...

What of those interested in retiring to a cruise | floating accomadation ship?

That's a serious question for some, I saw a thing the other night and caught an elderly well off couple saying they looked at many options and shipboard life was cheaper and more interesting (personal opinion) than other assisted living retirement options.

Raises the question of a digital life on international waters > 9 months of the year.

		In the US the 'Saverin' rule defines that you are a US citizen regardless of where you are domiciled. You pay federal tax with certain caveats. State tax may also be collected unless you cut ties .... Wondering if we need to add 'International Waters' to the retirement location dropdown.......!
