How it works

Track your spending, plan your retirement and ask about both.

Track

See every account and where your money goes.

Connect your banks, cards and brokerages. Kilter can read your accounts but can’t move money. You can bring in your history from many budgeting apps too.

Transactions come in sorted into categories. Change one and Kilter remembers it for that merchant. Reports then show where your money goes each month.

Bank sync and AI categorization come with Core and Plus.

Plan

Plan from your own numbers.

Start from the balances and spending you already have, then add events like a child, a home or retirement. The chart updates as you edit, across 2,000 simulations of market returns.

Kilter works out where each spare dollar should go and which accounts to draw from later. It shows you why, too. Set an emergency fund or keep an account aside, and Kilter plans around it.

With Core, Compare puts plans side by side. With Plus, Retire ASAP finds the earliest you can retire and keep the chance of success you want.

Ask

Ask the assistant about your plan.

Ask in plain English. When the answer is a change, the assistant shows your current plan next to the proposed one, and nothing changes until you apply it. Kilter does the math, so the assistant never makes up a number.

It also points things out while you use Kilter and remembers what you tell it between conversations. You can read and edit what it remembers. The assistant comes with Core and Plus.

Taxes

Federal, state and local tax, worked out every year.

Kilter works out federal tax and tax for every state and DC, plus a local rate you set. Your plan shows what you keep after tax.

Your accounts

401(k)s and 403(b)s, Roth 401(k)s, traditional and Roth IRAs (backdoor too), HSAs and 529s, with limits, catch-ups, early withdrawal penalties and RMDs.

Social Security for you and your spouse

Claim at any age from 62 to 70, with spousal and survivor benefits and the 50% and 85% rules for how much of it is taxed.

Tax strategies

Kilter compares Roth conversions to the top of a bracket or on an optimized schedule, 0% gains harvesting and claiming Social Security at 62, full retirement age or 70. It shows what each adds to your estate. With Plus, you see which is best and apply it in a click.

Federal tax

Long-term gains and qualified dividends at 0, 15 and 20%, the 3.8% NIIT, FICA or self-employment tax and Medicare’s IRMAA surcharges, based on your income two years before.

State and local tax

Income tax for all 50 states and DC, with their retirement income exclusions, plus a flat local rate you set, for places like NYC or a Maryland county.

Income floor and estate

A TIPS ladder for inflation-protected income until Social Security starts. At death, Kilter counts stepped-up basis, your heirs’ tax on pre-tax accounts and federal estate tax.

Kilter doesn’t model itemized deductions, the AMT, ACA premium credits or state estate taxes.
