Could I retire earlier?
Early retirement is often a timing problem. Work income can stop years before pension income starts, so accessible assets may need to fund the gap. Styrvia models that bridge alongside pensions, investment returns, spending and later-life income.

Early retirement: illustrative result
An early-retirement result can reveal whether accessible money can bridge the years before pensions begin, how much margin remains, and how sensitive that bridge is to spending and market variability. A plan can look wealthy overall while still running short of accessible money before pension assets become available.

What to look at in Styrvia
Use all four lenses: deterministic funding, Market simulation survival, Past-market test and long-term wealth. Early retirement is especially sensitive to the order of market returns.
Can I retire before my pension starts?
Early retirement creates an income bridge between the end of work and the start of pensions or other later income. Styrvia shows whether accessible money can cover that bridge while the rest of the household plan continues.
How much bridge money do I need before pension age?
The required bridge is the cumulative gap between spending and available income before pension income begins, adjusted for other cash flows and modelled investment changes. The accessible-money path shows how much reserve the plan uses along the way.
Which assumptions most affect early-retirement survival?
Spending, retirement date, pension start dates, starting accessible money and market assumptions usually have the largest effect. Market simulation and Past-market test then show how market variability can change a plan that looks workable on the deterministic path.
