Using the sidebar sliders

1 min read

Summary

  • The interactive sidebar (Solo and Duo) lets you adjust retirement age, spending, contributions, fees, and more in real time.
  • The projection updates instantly as you drag each slider.
  • Changes are temporary unless explicitly saved.

How the sidebar works

The interactive sidebar (Solo and Duo plans) lets you adjust key inputs in real time — retirement age, spending, contributions, fees, and more. The projection updates instantly as you drag each slider, so you can explore "what if" scenarios without editing your plan details. Changes made via sliders are temporary explorations unless you save them.

The retirement age slider doesn't adjust state pension or DB pension amounts — those stay as entered regardless of the age you drag to, so a result at an earlier retirement age won't reflect any real-world actuarial reduction your own scheme might apply.

Frequently asked questions

Do slider changes save automatically?
