Mm I hadn't thought about the stateful part - so the server is running the whole time the MCP client is active? Rather than being spun up as needed to make a tool call?

Yeah that seems to be how it is today. I'm just curious if there's something I'm missing with MCP, or if they want to make some changes down the road that will improve it in this way.

Cool tool, thanks for sharing!

I did the same thing with building something in excel - I didn't think as hard about the retirement portion though and just matched it to my previous pension contributions from when I was employed, so that's a great addition.

One thing I have in my sheet that I find helpful: A comparison with an equivalent annual salary at an employer. For example I have a day rate that is a rough approximation to match the annual salary I'd like to have if I were employed by someone - taking into account that the day rate needs to include sick days, holidays, the employer's share of insurance and pension contributions that I now pay etc.
