Free Retirement Plan & ERISA Calculators

See whether your plan's fees and performance look reasonable — or whether a free legal review is worthwhile. Fifteen tools, no signup required.

What these calculators do

These free, anonymous calculators estimate how plan fees, underperformance, and fiduciary issues may have reduced a person's retirement savings — and help you see whether a free legal review is worthwhile. They're illustrative starting points, not legal or financial advice.

Free Retirement Plan Check

Is your 401(k) quietly costing you money?

Most people have no idea what their workplace retirement plan charges them — or how much it quietly adds up to over the years. These free tools spell it out in plain English. No jargon, no cost, and nothing you need to look up.

The fees you never see

401(k) Fee Impact Calculator

Every 401(k) charges fees — but they're buried where you'll never notice them, and even a 1% fee quietly drains your savings for decades. In about 30 seconds, see roughly how much yours could cost you by the time you retire. You don't need to know anything about your plan — we've filled in typical numbers you can change if you want.

That gap is money that could have stayed in your account and grown for your retirement — instead it's going to fees. If your plan charges far more than a low-cost one, it can be worth finding out why. A review is free and confidential.

Free, confidential — no obligation

Worried by what you see? Talk to an attorney — free.

You don't have to understand any of this. If these numbers look off, a free, confidential review will tell you in plain English whether your employer's plan may owe you money. You pay nothing unless money is recovered, and your employer is never contacted without your okay.

A quick note. These tools give rough, illustrative estimates based only on what you enter and on simple assumptions (steady yearly growth, no taxes). They are not financial or legal advice, not a prediction of any outcome, and they don't prove that anyone did anything wrong or that any money can be recovered. Any actual recovery is decided by a court and depends on facts these tools can't capture. Using this tool doesn't make us your lawyers, and prior results don't guarantee a similar outcome.

Methodology

How these tools work

Each tool uses transparent, illustrative methods: compounding projections, published fee benchmarks, or weighted self-assessment scoring. They show their assumptions inline.

Disclaimer: Results are illustrative estimates — not legal or financial advice, not a prediction of any individual outcome. Tool assumptions, benchmarks, and all claims require attorney/compliance review before publishing.
