PUBLIC BETA · US-FOCUSED PLANNING
A planner for the life between milestones.
Updated September 12, 2026
More life. Less waiting.
Escape Velocity is an independent project built around a simple question: what could change if work took up less of your life? Most financial independence calculations start with one budget and one retirement date. This planner lets you build a sequence: time off, part-time work, a move, a return home, and the costs between them.
Room to explore.
There is no account or bank connection. Financial calculations run in your browser. Try an example before entering your own numbers, then use life chapters to compare choices.
Know what the numbers can tell you.
The methodology explains what each result measures, which assumptions drive it, and where the model stops. A modeled success rate helps compare scenarios; it is not a promise about your future.
Open about the assumptions.
This is a public beta. The product will change as confusing flows, missing context, and modeling errors are found. The methodology is public; the source repository is not currently published. Your feedback helps improve the planner.
