WHY I BUILT NESTCLOCK

Created by someone asking the same questions.

I’m Guillaume “G” Vives, 58, and I’ve worked continuously since finishing graduate school in 1992. I built NestClock while asking my own retirement questions, including how healthcare fits. I’m a technology and product builder, not a financial adviser. NestClock is an educational retirement-planning tool operated by NXProduct Inc.

Read my full story

After a lifetime of work, I started thinking seriously about what comes next. Could I retire? How much would I need? What would Social Security and healthcare cost? And what impact would federal and California taxes have on the money I could actually take home?

As a lifelong software builder—and a good geek—I studied the subject and created NestClock to bring those questions into one clear plan.

NestClock helps me explore scenarios. It does not decide whether I should retire. All current planning tools are available at no charge. Optional paid features may be introduced later, with notice and explicit consent before any charge.

Frequently asked questions

A few things to know before you begin.

Is NestClock a financial advisor?

No. NestClock provides educational projections and planning estimates. It does not provide individualized investment, tax, or legal advice.

Do I need exact numbers to start?

No. Reasonable estimates are enough for a useful first plan, and you can refine your information over time.

Do I have to connect my financial accounts?

No. You can begin with manual entry, which keeps you in control of the information you provide.

How long does setup take?

Most people can reach their first retirement-readiness view in about 10 minutes.

Are NestClock’s current tools free?

Yes. All current planning tools are available at no charge. NestClock may introduce optional paid features in the future, but we will provide notice and obtain your explicit consent before charging you.

What does the readiness percentage mean?

It shows how often a modeled plan met the selected spending and income assumptions through the planning horizon across 1,000 simulated market paths. It is an educational estimate, not a forecast or guarantee. Actual outcomes will differ.
