Free Financial Tools

Five tools that answer specific questions about your spending, your paycheck, your debt, and your financial health — no account required for any of them. Together they form a complete monthly financial review workflow.

The monthly review workflow: Start with the statement scanner to see what's leaving your account. Use the budget calculator to see how recurring charges fit your income. Use the paycheck planner if you're paid biweekly. Retake the financial health score monthly to track whether your picture is improving.

Why recurring charges are the priority

Most financial advice focuses on large, visible expenses. The money that quietly accumulates is in smaller recurring charges — a fitness app that went from $9 to $14, a free trial that converted to paid six months ago, a streaming service nobody in the household uses anymore. None of these feel significant individually. Together they often total $150–300/month.

The statement scanner identifies every recurring charge in one pass. The budget calculator shows how they fit your income. The paycheck planner shows whether they're sustainable per pay period. The health score tracks whether the overall picture is improving. Each tool is useful alone; together they're a complete financial review system.
