About MilitaryRetire
I retired last year. I built this app based on that experience. I wanted to provide something to service members that provides details in terms of what their future income will look like, why it looks that way, along with a checklist to keep track of things. This is mainly for service members approaching retirement. Features: THE MILITARY INCOME STATEMENT Your retirement income itemized like a pay stub: gross retired pay, minus the SBP premium, minus federal and state tax, plus VA compensation. Every line shows its math and where the number came from. Before your retirement date it's a projection; after it, it's your current statement. RETIREMENT PLANNER Your pay grade and retirement date drive your monthly retired pay, with your years of service at retirement and the multiplier shown so the figure is never a mystery. BRS members get the lump-sum election modeled to DoD's own published methodology. SURVIVOR BENEFIT PLAN (SBP) Spouse and per-child coverage, with the premium priced the way DFAS prices it — including child-only coverage off the actuarial factor. Model the election before DD Form 2656 makes it permanent. VA DISABILITY Add your ratings and see the combined-rating math worked step by step. VA does not add ratings — each one applies to what's left. Concurrent receipt (CRDP/CRSC) eligibility is flagged. RETIREMENT CHECKLIST A T-minus timeline from two years out to after you're out: TAP, service records, SkillBridge, the BDD claim window, DD Form 2656, scheduling the final move with the TMO, TRICARE enrollment, the DD-214 review, and verifying your first retired paycheck against your own statement. Every item cites the statute, regulation, or agency page it comes from. PRICING One-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no account, and nothing in the app gated behind a further purchase. PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. No account, no cloud sync, no analytics. Your financial profile never leaves your iPhone. The only thing ever sent is optional feedback, and only when you choose to send it: your message, app version, device model, iOS version and a random ID for this install. No name, email or account. DATA Bundled and dated, transcribed from primary sources: the 2026 DoD basic pay table, 2026 VA compensation rates, federal tax brackets, the 50-state treatment of military retired pay, and DoD's published BRS lump-sum discount rate. Works offline. Every dataset is listed in the app with its source and its vintage. MilitaryRetire provides general estimates for planning purposes. It is not financial, legal, or tax advice. For authoritative figures consult DFAS, VA.gov, or a licensed financial advisor.
What’s new
Version 2.3.3 · Updated October 17, 2026
This release corrects several figures so every screen matches what DFAS and VA pay. Some of your numbers may be lower than before. ONE RETIRED-PAY FIGURE ON EVERY SCREEN The Summary, Survivor and VA screens used your final month's basic pay. They now use the average of your highest 36 months, as the Retirement Planner and DFAS do. The figure is lower if your last three years cross a pay step for years of service or include a promotion. VA WAIVER Without CRDP (a 50% or higher rating with 20 or more years), DFAS reduces retired pay by your VA compensation. The Summary added VA compensation on top of full retired pay. It now shows the waiver. SBP The SBP premium is now taken out before tax. CRSC The VA screen no longer assumes CRSC restores your full waiver. It shows the most CRSC could pay. DFAS ROUNDING The retirement multiplier is rounded the way DFAS rounds it, and retired pay is rounded down to the whole dollar. 36 years and 8 months is now 91.68%. Service is now counted by calendar date. Before, the time of day saved with a date could drop a month of service. FINAL PAY If your DIEMS date is before September 8, 1980, the app now says Final Pay isn't supported yet instead of showing a High-3 figure. ONE PLACE FOR YOUR RANK Your pay grade is now set in Settings only. The Retirement Planner shows it and taps through to Settings to change it. The Planner's own rank field is gone, and so is the promotion-impact chip that went with it.
