Knowing how your expenses compare can help you identify opportunities to save, even if you don't feel comfortable with the restrictions of a formal budget.

FSA Employer Savings Calculator
This Calculator is for planning purposes only. While this Calculator is designed to demonstrate potential tax savings, it does not constitute a guarantee of actual savings. This Calculator assumes that premiums for healthcare coverage are taken on a pre-tax basis and does not take into account such variables as mid-year election changes, participant forfeitures, or participant gains due to overspent accounts when coverage terminates early.

HRA Employer Savings
A Health Reimbursement Arrangement is designed to help an Employer save money. An employer can set up this plan to reimburse employees for eligible medical expenses. It is commonly used with a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) where the premium is lower and thus saving the employer money. After setting up a HDHP the employer can pay only the difference between the the premium from the previous plan and the amount that exceeds what the employee was already paying. Note that the employee will continue to pay the same amount of premium and deductible as before. With the savings from the HDHP the employer can fund an account to reimburse the employees for the difference between the deductibles. The employer will still save money because he can allocate money only when needed and not all employees will need to be reimbursed. (Author: eflexgroup 2007)

Retirement: How Long Will My Money Last?
It seems these days that everybody wants to retire by the age of 45. Is it just wishful thinking? Our calculator will help you figure how long your investments will last. Just plug in your balance, number of years the savings should last, expected annual after-tax return and expected inflation rate. Then you'll see an inflation-adjusted figure for annual withdrawals. To account for possible market volatility and normal financial risk, you may wish to pad the number in the "years savings must last" field. That way you'll have a cushion against unexpected events.

Social Security Quick Calculator
Benefit estimates depend on your date of birth and on your earnings history. For security, the "Quick Calculator" can not access your earnings record; instead, it will estimate your earnings based on information you provide. So benefit estimates made by the Quick Calculator are rough and may not match those provided by your Social Security Statement. (Author:Social Security Online 2007)
