Release Notes

Chance of Success (Monte Carlo): Your main plan runs on one deterministic version of the future — with steady average rates every year. Chance of Success stress-tests your plan against a thousand volatile futures so you know how it holds up when returns and inflation don't follow a single rate. We run your plan 1,000 times, each with its own sequence of market returns and inflation — some years up 20%, some years down 10% — and count how many times your money lasts the distance. That's your Chance of Success: 82% means your plan held up in 820 of those futures; the other 180 hit a rough patch of returns or sustained high inflation.

Referrals: You can now refer a friend to Canwi Plus and you'll both get a reward.

Lump Sum Super Withdrawals: You can now model lump sum withdrawals from superannuation, either as a standalone event or as part of shortfall funding priorities. This unlocks opportunities to arrange plans around the minimum drawdown from super or a fixed amount/rate, with lump sum withdrawals made automatically to cover lumpy expense years.

2027 Budget Changes: The proposed negative gearing and CGT changes are now on by default in your plan (previously required toggling on), reflecting the legislated changes. The Working Australians Tax Offset model setting has been removed.

Updated Tax Rates: Updated tax thresholds from the FY27 budget are now reflected across the model.

Reopen Closed Super Accounts: Making a contribution to a closed accumulation fund now automatically reopens it.

SAPTO: Added support for the Seniors and Pensioners Tax Offset via a model setting (on by default).

Updated Plan Screen Design: The future plan screens - Summary, Plan Builder, and Plan Tables - have all been refreshed. Plan Builder now supports narrower columns with preset views for Cashflow, Wealth, and Cashflow + Savings, plus a flexible custom view. Alerts now appear underneath years so drawdown from savings, liquidation of assets from shortfall funding priorities, and running out of cash are easier to spot. Mobile support has been improved and iconography has been refined throughout.

Negative Gearing Changes: Added support for the proposed negative gearing changes that would limit negative gearing to new properties only, with grandfathering and carry-forward of losses for properties not eligible. Enable this as a model setting to model the impact on your plan if the changes proceed. Off by default as the changes are not yet legislated.

Working Australians Tax Offset: Added support for the new $250 Working Australians Tax Offset announced in the recent Federal Budget, available to those with employment income. Enable this as a model setting to see how it affects your tax position. Off by default until legislated.

Shortfall Funding Priorities: When your plan hit a cashflow shortfall, Canwi would draw from cash accounts only — with no way to control the order or sequencing. Shortfall Funding Priorities changes this — you can now define which accounts to draw from first, set target balances to preserve for emergencies, choose which liquid assets to sell, and configure an emergency drawdown order. Canwi handles the rest automatically.

Income Tax Projection: Added an income tax projection chart so you can see how your tax position tracks across the life of your plan.

CGT Indexation Method: Added support via a model setting for the new CGT indexation method coming into effect from July 2027. Until legislated, the default remains the current 50% discount — but you can now select the indexation method as a scenario setting to model the impact on your capital gains tax calculations. Includes support for the Centrelink (Aged Pension) exemption from the 30% minimum CGT rate.

Scenario Settings UX: Scenario settings now tracks unsaved changes and surfaces discard and save controls, so you always know when you have changes pending.

Quick Settings Sheet: Scenario settings are now accessible from the Quick Settings sheet for faster adjustments without navigating away from your plan.

Transfer Cash Event: Added a new event to transfer cash between accounts in your plan.

Move Homes Event: Added a new event to model changing your main residence, handling scenarios from renting and buying a property through to renting out your current home and moving into a new one.

Cashflow Priorities for Planned Assets & Debts: The Change Cashflow Priorities form now supports planned assets and debts, giving you more control over drawdown order across your full plan.

Super Drawdown Modelling: Major upgrade to superannuation drawdown modelling. Accumulation funds are now transferred into an Account Based Pension with full tracking of the Transfer Balance Cap, Transfer Balance Account, and proportional indexation. You can also control how much super is rolled over from accumulation into an ABP.

Navigation Redesign: Reorganised navigation makes everything easier to find. Initial Position is now part of Plan with dedicated pages for income, expenses, assets, debts, money flows, and real estate. Scenarios has its own spot in the nav, and Home brings your full financial picture together.

Downsizer Contributions: Added support for downsizer superannuation contributions for users selling an eligible property.

FIRE Progress Chart: Added a dedicated FIRE progress chart for users tracking financial independence and early retirement goals.

Cash Account Ownership: You can now allocate ownership of cash accounts across individuals in your plan.

Public Shared Scenario Comparisons: Scenario comparisons can now be shared publicly via a link.

Event Versioning: Events are now versioned so Canwi can notify you when an event changes and you need to take action.

Event Insights & Errors: Added a framework to surface event-level insights and errors that require resolution.

Offset on Property Purchase: You can now create an offset account as part of a property purchase event.

Modify Cash Flow Priorities: Cash flow priorities can now be edited over time.

Tracking: You can now track your progress against your financial plans by creating progress points and recording your current assets and debts.
