5M early retirees and pre-retirees managing MAGI
The Problem

Early retirees and FIRE planners struggle to manage MAGI in real-time to avoid catastrophic tax cliffs like ACA subsidy loss, IRMAA brackets, and Social Security taxation thresholds. Existing retirement tools (Boldin, etc.) optimize for long-term net worth but don't show the immediate dollar-by-dollar headroom users need to make withdrawal and Roth conversion decisions throughout the year.

Potential Solution

A dedicated tax-cliff dashboard that connects to brokerage and retirement accounts to track MAGI in real-time against every relevant threshold (ACA, IRMAA, capital gains brackets, SS taxation, RMD). Users see a live 'headroom' number for each cliff, with a Roth conversion simulator and withdrawal sequencing planner that shows exact dollar amounts available before each threshold triggers.

Why Now?

ACA subsidy cliffs return in 2026 as enhanced premium tax credits expire, making MAGI management critical for millions of early retirees. The FIRE movement has grown rapidly, and existing tools like Boldin and NewRetirement lack the granular real-time cliff tracking users are demanding.
