Field notes
The homepage organizes the transition questions into separate calculators, including a TSP comparison that lists taxes, the 10% penalty, 20% withholding, and Roth earnings. It says each page writes out the formulas and includes worked examples, with rates and rules linked to official sources. The site identifies its creator as a veteran and labels the calculations educational estimates, not financial, tax, investment, or legal advice.
