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.
