First versioned release of SmaRP

Smart Retirement Planning SmaRP is a Mirai Solutions tool allowing people working in Switzerland to explore parameters and monetary measures related to retirement and pension.

SmaRP is based on the Swiss pension system and reflects the complexity of its legal framework. It is implemented as an R Shiny pension calculator web app, in the form of an R package. The app features a flexible yet intuitive user interface with detailed personalization parameters and options. This allows to interactively compute and display the evolution of the retirement funds over time, split into their contributing components. A report including details regarding calculation methodology and approximations can be generated and downloaded.

Thanks to the open-source nature of the project, the underlying assumptions and calculations are fully disclosed. Unlike other pension calculators, this makes results transparent, comparable, and reproducible.
