MoneyHelper Retirement Budget Planner is a free web tool for estimating likely retirement costs and the income a person may need. Its Budget planner totals income and outgoings, shows what remains, and breaks spending into categories to help identify potential savings or cost cuts. Users can enter costs by year, and the tool converts those figures into a monthly average. MoneyHelper suggests having payslips, bank statements, bills, or a banking app available when working out income and spending. Budgeting help is available through webchat, with links to budgeting guides. The planner is provided by MoneyHelper, owned and maintained by the Money and Pensions Service, whose registered office is in Bedford, England. The service describes its website tools as general information rather than advice to rely on. It also says it is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and does not provide a regulated service. Its accessibility statement identifies menu buttons that are not programmatically expandable and incorrectly structured tab panels.
