Your data. Forever yours.

No subscriptions. Ever. Use the free core version for as long as you like.

Financial Planning

A FIRE Number and Retirement Plan based on your own savings and investment patterns, mortgage overpayment and remortgaging comparisons using your loan's own real amortization schedule, and saved scenarios you can compare side by side.

Withdrawal Strategies

Safe Withdrawal Rate, Guyton-Klinger Guardrails, and Risk-Based Guardrails, backtested against real historical market returns going back decades, so you can see how a downturn would actually affect your spending.

Custom & Synthetic Datasets

Create synthetic market return data sets of your own, complete with booms and crashes, or import your own real historical series.

Allocation

See how your holdings are actually split, and how far that has drifted from the split you're aiming for.

Multi-Account Budgets

Combine several accounts into one shared budget.

Multiple Ledgers

Track a side business or a family member's own accounts side by side with your main ledger.

Stealth Mode

Add transactions with greater privacy, plus more app themes and the ability to favourite more than one chart on your Balances screen.

The Financial Planning section of Beanie Budgets Reports, listing Plan Assumptions, Mortgage Overpayment, Remortgage Calculator, Growth Forecast, FIRE Projections, Withdrawal Models, Retirement Strategy, Drawdown Tracker, and Saved Scenarios.

These are models to help you think things through, not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Speak to a qualified, independent adviser before making any real decision based on what you see here, especially anything involving a mortgage, a pension, or retirement income.
