About

I am a retired US Army senior NCO. I retired in 2026 after 20 years and live in Thailand with my family, where my wife is from. I am using the rest of my Post-9/11 GI Bill at a Bangkok university. While planning the move I found that the three numbers that matter most, retiree TRICARE overseas, the GI Bill foreign-school housing allowance, and the VA rating swing, were either wrong or missing in every budget template I could find. These calculators are the ones I built for myself, cleaned up.

The site is free. It is paid for by the budget planner workbook, which does everything here and more with your own numbers. If the free tools are enough for you, use them and go.

What this is not

Not financial, legal, tax, immigration or benefits advice. Not affiliated with the VA, DoD, DFAS, TRICARE, or any government agency. Every rate is dated and linked to its source. Rules change every year and office practice varies by country. Confirm anything you act on with the source, the School Certifying Official, the TRICARE overseas contractor, and your tax preparer.

Corrections

If a number here is wrong, I want to know. Leave a comment on the Gumroad page and I will fix it and note the change.
