Release notes
What's new
What has changed in Zenarios, release by release. The iPhone app updates through the App Store, the web app the next time you open it.
Version 1.4 · iPhone and web
US and UK taxes in depth, and a tax plan for both
- US plans tax long-term gains and qualified dividends at 0, 15 or 20%, add NIIT, itemized deductions, the AMT and each state's rules, and enforce 401(k), IRA and HSA limits with catch-ups.
- Social Security from your earnings record, with claim ages 62 to 70 and spousal and survivor benefits; required minimum distributions; Medicare IRMAA and the ACA premium tax credit.
- UK plans tax savings and dividends in the right order with their allowances, apply Scottish bands and the £100,000 allowance taper, and relieve pensions by salary sacrifice, net pay or relief at source within the annual allowance. The State Pension follows your qualifying years.
- The tax plan now covers the US and the UK: Roth conversions, the 401(k), IRAs, the HSA and Social Security claim ages; salary sacrifice, SIPPs, ISAs and State Pension top-ups. Each year is settled when a return would be: April in the US, 31 January in the UK.
Version 1.3 · Web app
The tax plan for Germany, and Zenarios on the desktop
- The tax plan looks at pensions, investments and property together: it tries each strategy on your plan, combines the strongest and tells you what to change, by how much and when.
- On a large screen, the web app opens with a sidebar, editors in side panels and a command bar (⌘K).
- Restore a plan from a backup file in the browser, and keep open tabs in step.
Version 1.2 · iPhone and web
A faster start and sharper answers
- A shorter setup, with better first guesses for savings and investments.
- Cars bought in a plan can be replaced by the next car, with running costs you can edit.
- Getting married can switch to joint tax filing from that month.
- Clearer comparisons for large net worths, calmer check-in reminders and shorter texts throughout.
Version 1.1 · iPhone and web
Health insurance and cars, in more detail
- Private health insurance (PKV) with premiums that rise over time, compared with statutory insurance.
- Cars can be replaced every few years, and a lease can end with a new lease, a purchase or no car.
- Suggestions now say what they are worth in euros, and “Why this?” explains each one.
