Welcome to the very latest update from RetireEasy, the new online software programme that enables you to monitor your finances and control your own retirement. We start with news of an important new innovation now being made available.

As from today (21st October) you can now choose between ‘Singles’ and ‘Couples’ versions of the software.

The difference? The Couples version recognises the (rather complicated!) way the UK tax system works for couples and then makes all the calculations for your income.

You simply feed in all your incomes, assets and outgoings, allocating them as appropriate between you as two individuals, and it then cannily calculates your income, net of tax for you. Not just for this year, but for every year into the future.

The Couples version of RetireEasy is £99. For those who already have the Singles version and want to upgrade, the fee is just £20.
