SmartAsset provides financial advice tools for retirement planning, which integrate parameters related to Social Security and utilize information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The tools address growing financial concerns regarding retirement security, such as the failure of Cost-of-Living Adjustments to keep pace with inflation. They also provide guidance on investment strategies, such as using a portfolio split between SCHD and JEPI to target specific monthly distributions.
