    Might as well throw in quarterly while at it :)

    quarterly definitely! Monthly would be nice as well. It’s really hard to mentally look at an entire year and see where my “retirement” falls.

    Yes… quarterly, monthly (which is really a year at a glance).

    I think this is needed to allow modeling changes in income or major expenses mid year with at least quarterly, ideally monthly. E.g retiring mid year with partial year of regular income and partial year of retirement income. Thanks

    I think I would like to see this one - month granularity would probably be enough

    My birthday is in October and notionally I can say I would like to retire at 60

    But my company pays yearly bonus in February so I would be really dumb to retire before that’s in the bank.

    On the other hand I don’t want to go on working until 61 - ideally I would retire exactly at the end of the UK tax year April 5th so as not to find myself over paying tax and having to claim it back and not be able to prise the overpayment from the taxman grasp until the following year.

    One unfortunate consequence of a yearly granularity is your milestones get kicked out for a full year depending on what happens. For example, if I am to retire at 62 but I try to model buying a new car at 55, it’ll say I’ll retire at 63. In actuality, if I use https://engaging-data.com/fire-calculator and try to model as closely as I can to PL, it says it’ll take an extra 2.4 months.

    Monthly granularity would be so useful.

    I plan most things by monthly basis so I would like this a lot.

    I’d like to be able to use the projections for monthly budget planning, not just yearly milestones.

    I would like monthly. I check my accounts monthly and having the month of retirement or starting SS would improve accuracy of projections.

    Agree, monthly adds a much better resolution to the plan and can make significant difference. Most people don’t collect a full 12 months when they first start collecting a pension or begin drawing down their assets.

    Final year of employment would likely be a full year as well.

    I would like monthly, too.
