As I mentioned in my Flexible Retirement Planner (FRP) thread, I was researching retirement planners as I was aging out of the workforce. I had tried NewRetirement (now called Boldin) but didn't want to pay the annual fee to keep using it. I tried the Flexible Retirement Planner which is free and allows lots of options in your planning.
Another I had found is Fi Calc. Fi Calc is entirely online but offers quite a bit of flexibility like FRP and you can save the results in a CSV file to import into Excel. I didn't find the documentation as comprehensive but it still offers lots of options. There are links to several other articles on retirement planning that may help you sort out your options. As FRP, Fi Calc is free and when I was testing it, it formatted well to a phone so you didn't have to keep scrolling around to enter things.
In either instance, you can use both planners both for retirement and FIRE purposes if that's what you're looking for. I'd recommend giving both a try.

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
