The problem

81% of financial advisors still plan retirement income without a dedicated distribution tool.

They are doing it in Excel, or settling for the shallow retirement tools inside eMoney and RightCapital.

Without Income Lab

  • Probability of success: 73%. What does your client do with that?
  • A static plan, updated once a year.
  • Panicked calls every time the market drops.

With Income Lab

  • Guardrails: dynamic, visual, explainable.
  • “How much can I safely spend?” Answered, in dollars per month.
  • Tax-smart withdrawal sequencing built in.
  • A plan clients understand, so the panicked calls stop coming.

The platform

One platform. Every retirement question answered.

The AI Suite

Plan Builder, Plan Updater, Scribe, Interviewer, Assistant, and Penny: ask any retirement question and get an answer grounded in the client's actual plan. The AI proposes; a deterministic tax engine checks the math. Penny doesn't guess.

How it works

From your first client to your hundredth, in hours, not months.

  1. 01 Import

    Paste data from eMoney, RightCapital, PDFs, or intake forms.

  2. 02 Build

    AI Plan Builder drafts the household in minutes. You review and approve every field.

  3. 03 Present

    Open Life Hub and walk your client through a plan they can actually read.

300 clients. 5-8 hours. Not 300 hours.

Works with the tools you already use.

View all integrations

One retained client pays for a year.

Plans start at $1,990 per year. Keep one client who might have left, and the software has paid for itself many times over. Everything after that is efficiency.
