About LEOFF Helper

Built to Make Washington Public-Safety Retirement Planning Clearer

LEOFF Helper exists to give Washington LEOFF members a clearer way to think about retirement timing, pension income, Social Security, expenses, assets, and long-term financial resilience.

Why This Tool Exists

LEOFF Helper was created to provide clear, structural retirement forecasting for Washington LEOFF 2 members.

Most retirement calculators are built for generic investment-account planning and do not properly account for defined benefit pensions, COLA adjustments, or coordinated Social Security timing.

This simulator was built specifically to model those systems together so members can see a more realistic long-term picture of income, expenses, and retirement sustainability.

Independence

LEOFF Helper is an independent project and is not affiliated with the Washington State Department of Retirement Systems.

It is built by LEOFF 2 members, for LEOFF 2 members.

What It Does Not Do

LEOFF Helper does not sell financial products, generate advisory leads, or run advertising. The goal is simple: help LEOFF members plan with more confidence and more context.

Data & Privacy

The simulator is designed so calculations happen locally in your browser. The tool is focused on planning clarity, not collecting personal financial data.

Support

If this tool helps you plan more confidently, future support will help maintain and improve the simulator, the article library, and the retirement analysis tools over time.

Our Goal

Give Washington public-safety families a retirement-planning tool that is specific, understandable, and grounded in the systems they actually use.
