RetireWizard Announces Public Launch of AI-Driven Retirement Income Calculator

Published

on

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. , June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RetireWizard announces the public launch of its AI-driven retirement income calculator. This free tool is designed specifically for Americans ages 50 to 70 with $250,000 to $5,000,000 in retirement savings. The tool helps them generate a personalized income estimate in under 60 seconds.

A New Tool for a Changing Retirement Planning

The announcement comes as the retirement planning environment changes. Many Americans now retire without traditional pension coverage. This places income planning on individuals. Recent stock market volatility in early 2026 has increased concern among those nearing or in retirement about the long-term durability of their savings.

LIMRA reports that most Americans fear outliving their savings. This research shows a gap between accumulated wealth and reliable income. RetireWizard addresses that gap by offering a self-service option for savers who want to understand income options without talking to a financial advisor right away.

How the Calculator Works

The RetireWizard platform features a quiz-based Annuity Calculator. Users answer a few questions on savings and retirement timeline. Within 60 seconds, they get a personalized income estimate. The tool is free and needs no prior appointment or advisor relationship.

The calculator targets the mass-affluent: $250,000 to $5,000,000 in retirement savings. This group falls between DIY investors and ultra-high-net-worth individuals with full financial advisory access. RetireWizard helps those in the middle by providing income-planning data before they consult a professional.

Expanding Access to Annuity Information

Annuity products have mainly been evaluated during advisory-led meetings. This process can feel high-pressure or inaccessible to savers who want to explore on their own. Free tools like RetireWizard let users research annuity income on their own.

The platform connects users with a nationwide network of financial advisors. This approach creates a path from self-directed research to professional help. Since its launch, RetireWizard has processed thousands of free retirement income assessments. This utilization shows early traction with its intended users.

Perspective on Retirement Income Gap

The Co-Founder of RetireWizard spoke to the problem the platform is designed to solve:

Retirees today are the wealthiest in U.S. history, yet have the least guaranteed income. We built RetireWizard after seeing family members stress over retirement, even though they were doing everything right. No one who spends 30 years building a nest egg should lie awake, wondering if the market will take it all away.

Timing and Market Relevance

The public launch is timed to coincide with a period of heightened awareness around retirement security. Major market indices experience notable swings in the early part of 2026. As a result, it pushed retirement income stability higher on many savers’ priority lists. Tools that allow individuals to quickly estimate income options are gaining relevance as investors reassess risk and seek to plan with greater confidence.

RetireWizard positions its calculator as a first step. It helps savers see how their savings translate into income before pursuing any financial strategy. You can explore your next steps with the RetireWizard free calculator.

University of Phoenix Releases 2026 C-Suite AI Impact Report on Scaling AI for Business Value

Published

on

By

New research finds most organizations have adopted AI, but few are transforming workflows as leaders focus on skills, trust and measurable impact

PHOENIX, June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — University of Phoenix today released The C-Suite AI Impact Report: Getting Value from AI, new research examining how organizations are working to turn artificial intelligence investments into measurable business outcomes. Based on a survey of 150 C-Suite leaders across North America conducted in collaboration with Jeanne Meister, a future of work strategist and HR consultant, the report finds a growing gap between AI adoption and enterprise-wide transformation.

Key findings from the 2026 C-Suite AI Impact Report

63% of C-Suite leaders have deployed at least one AI use case, but fewer than one-third are using AI to transform work processes and workflows56% predict AI will become a proactive human capital tool by the end of 202690% of C-Suite leaders identify learning and development as the top use case for AI in HRNearly 60% report adopting a skills-based workforce model, though ownership remains fragmented75% say HR and IT are unlikely to merge but will partner more closelyMore than six in ten cite productivity and competitive advantage as top benefits, while employee fear and distrust remain the leading barriersLeaders identify critical thinking and role modeling AI literacy as essential capabilities for scaling AI

“The next phase of AI adoption is not about experimentation; it is about execution,” said Meister. “Our research shows that leaders are increasingly focused on translating AI investments into measurable value by embedding AI into workflow design, skills development, and day-to-day decision making. Organizations that align AI with a clear skills strategy and model its use at the leadership level will be better positioned to scale impact across the enterprise.”

AI adoption trends show gap between deployment and workforce transformation

The findings underscore a gap between adoption and transformation, as many organizations continue to pilot AI without fully integrating it into core business processes. Leaders are prioritizing how AI connects to workflow design and measurable outcomes as they move from isolated use cases to enterprise-wide scaling.

Skills-based workforce strategies and HR IT collaboration shape AI scaling

Organizations are increasingly adopting a skills-based approach to workforce strategy. Nearly 60% of C-Suite leaders report moving in this direction, although responsibility for skills initiatives remains fragmented across functions, including HR, IT, and business leadership. The report also finds that most leaders do not expect HR and IT to merge, but view closer collaboration between the two functions as critical to aligning workforce strategy with AI investments.

“C-Suite leaders are recognizing that implementing new technology in a vacuum does not create value,” said Jay Titus, vice president of the Workforce Solutions Group at University of Phoenix. “To best leverage and scale AI successfully, organizations must focus on how work gets done, including how teams build skills, collaborate across functions, and address employee concerns. Trust, leadership behavior, and pointing to clear use cases are just as important as the technology itself.”

Human factors including trust and AI literacy influence adoption

The research underscores the importance of addressing the human side of AI adoption. While leaders cite productivity and competitive advantage as key benefits, employee fear and distrust remain the top barriers to broader use. The report also identifies an “AI hopefulness gap,” with younger leaders expressing lower levels of optimism about AI’s impact compared to older generations.

To address these challenges, leaders are prioritizing AI literacy as a core workforce capability, but the report notes that to clarify expectations for workers, organizations must also define what AI literacy means by job role. AI literacy is increasingly viewed as a baseline skill, and leaders emphasize the importance of role modeling AI use to drive adoption and embed AI into everyday work.

The report includes recommendations for organizations to move beyond isolated AI pilots and develop integrated strategies that connect skills, workflow redesign, and measurable business outcomes.
