    How to Use Silvur for Retirement Planning

    A retirement app made for people 50+ that shows your Social Security, Medicare, and savings in one place.

    1

    Download Silvur

    ~15s
    Install the Silvur app from the App Store or Play Store. Create an account with your email and a password. Basic features are free; premium tools cost about $10/month.
    2

    Enter your retirement age goal

    ~15s
    Silvur will ask when you plan to retire and what your expected monthly expenses are. It is fine to estimate — you can adjust this later.
    3

    Link your accounts

    ~15s
    Silvur uses Plaid (a secure bank-connection service) to pull balances from your 401(k), IRA, and bank accounts. This is read-only — Silvur cannot move or withdraw money.
    4

    Run the Retirement Score

    ~15s
    Tap "Retirement Score" to see a single number from 0 to 100 showing how ready you are. Below that, Silvur shows a year-by-year projection of income and spending.
    5

    Try the Social Security optimizer

    ~15s
    Tap "Social Security" to see how much more you could collect over a lifetime by waiting to claim. For most people, waiting until 67 or 70 gives a much larger lifetime total — Silvur calculates the exact number for your situation.

    Silvur is a retirement planning app built for people close to or already in retirement. It connects to your Social Security, 401(k), IRA, and bank accounts to show a clear picture of your monthly retirement income and how long it will last.

    Unlike general finance apps, Silvur focuses on retirement-specific questions like "Should I claim Social Security at 62 or wait until 67?"
