Hi Reddit! I've built a US retirement calculator and I'd love to adapt it for Canadian use

This is a x-post from r/FinancialPlanning -> Reddit, but I've been working on developing a better retirement calculator for anyone to use.

Somebody in the other thread asked about a Canadian version, but I know absolutely nothing about the Canadian retirement process. It's a long road ahead, but I'd love to know what changes I'd need to make to the calculator. Would the interface work with your needs? Are taxes and investment options the main things needing an overhaul? Is there a good crash course on Canadian retirement process anywhere? Cheers!

 

Edit: Thanks to everyone for awesome advice and feedback! This is enough for me to start chipping away at a Canadian version and I hope to have something out by March (as long as life doesn't get in the way).
