A little about you

Age, family and how you earn - these change almost every number in this plan.

Fields marked * are needed to build your plan. Everything else can be left blank or 0.

Money in, money out

Monthly take-home figures. Round to the nearest thousand - honesty beats precision.

Any loans or EMIs?

Add each one separately - the order you clear them is worth real money. Continue if you have none.

What do you own today?

Current value, not what you paid. Best estimates are fine.

What protects you?

This is where most plans quietly go wrong - not the investing, the safety net under it.

Last one - what are you saving for?

Money without a date attached tends to get spent. Retirement is planned for you automatically - add everything else. Start from a common one:

Your position

Financial health check

Net worth

What you'd have left if you sold everything and cleared every loan today.

Protection & debt

This comes before investing - always. A single hospital bill or lost income can undo ten years of SIPs.

Your loans, in the order to clear them

Highest interest rate first. This is the avalanche method - it always costs the least in total interest.

Where your money goes

Every ₹100 that comes in, tracked to where it lands.

Your savings rate

Your goals, priced and funded

Each goal is inflated to what it will actually cost in the year you need it, then converted into a monthly figure.

How to split your monthly investing

Driven by when you need each rupee - not by a single blanket rule. Short-horizon money stays safe; long-horizon money is allowed to grow.

    Where you are today vs where you should be

    Your existing portfolio, compared with the mix your goals call for.

    What this becomes

    Year-by-year compounding on what you invest each month. Move the controls and watch the numbers change.

    Raise your SIP by this much every year, as your income grows. It is the single biggest lever here.

    Year by year

    Your action plan

    In order. Do not skip ahead - each step protects the one after it.

    Built as an educational tool. Your figures stay in your browser - nothing is uploaded.

    What this is

    A free personal finance planner built for how money actually works in India

    Most money advice starts in the wrong place. It tells you which fund to buy before it asks whether you could survive three months without a salary, or what happens to your family if your income stops tomorrow. This planner does it the other way round.

    You answer six short screens about your age, your income, what you own and what you're saving for. In return you get a picture of where you stand today - scored out of 100 - and a plain, ordered list of what to fix first. It runs entirely in your browser. Your figures are never uploaded, stored or shared, and nothing is saved after you close the tab.

    A financial health score

    One number out of 100, built from eight things a planner would actually check: your emergency fund, savings rate, insurance cover, debt load, net worth for your age, asset mix, goal funding and paperwork.

    The gaps, in the order to fix them

    How much emergency fund you're short, how much term and health cover you need, and which loan to clear first. Sequence matters more than speed - each step protects the one after it.

    Where to put your monthly savings

    A split across equity, debt, gold and cash - worked out from when you need each rupee, not from a blanket rule. No specific stocks or funds are ever recommended.

    What it all grows into

    A year-by-year compounding projection with an annual step-up, three return scenarios, and the option to see every figure in today's rupees rather than inflated ones.

    How it works

    Four minutes, six screens, no sign-up

    1. 1

      Tell it about you

      Age, city, who depends on your income, and whether your earnings are steady or variable. These change nearly every benchmark that follows - a freelancer with two dependents needs a very different safety net from a salaried person with none.

    2. 2

      Your money in and out

      Take-home income, essentials, lifestyle spending, what you already invest, and any loans. This produces your savings rate and the surplus everything else is built on.

    3. 3

      What you own and what protects you

      Cash, equity, EPF and PPF, gold, property, plus your term and health cover. This is where most plans quietly go wrong - not in the investing, but in the safety net underneath it.

    4. 4

      Read your plan

      Your score, your protection gaps, a cash-flow breakdown, your goals priced for inflation, a recommended split, a growth projection, and a 90-day action plan you can save as a PDF.

    The rules behind it

    What it checks, and the benchmarks it uses

    Nothing here is a secret formula. These are the standard rules of thumb an Indian financial planner would apply, made explicit so you can judge them for yourself.

    WhatThe benchmark used
    Emergency fund6 months of essentials plus EMIs, rising to 9–10 months if your income is variable or you're the only earner with dependents. Held in cash or a liquid fund, never in equity.
    Term life cover10–15× your annual income depending on age, plus outstanding loans, minus what you already own. If you have no dependents and no loans, the honest answer is that you don't need any - and the tool says so.
    Health cover₹5–25 lakh depending on your age, city tier and family size. A modest base policy plus a super top-up costs far less than one large policy for the same total cover.
    DebtTotal EMIs under 30–35% of take-home pay. Loans are ranked highest-interest-first (the avalanche method), which always costs the least in total interest. Anything above 11% is treated as urgent.
    Savings rateRoughly 20–25% in your twenties, rising through 30–35% by your forties, counting EPF. This single number does more work than any investment choice in the first fifteen years.
    Net worthA working target of (your age − 25) ÷ 5, multiplied by your annual income. At 35 that's 2× your annual income; at 45, 4×.
    Where money goesBy time horizon. Under 3 years stays in debt and cash. Three to seven years is balanced. Beyond seven years leans into equity, because over that span volatility stops being a risk and starts being an opportunity.
    Retirement80% of today's spending, inflated at 6% a year to your retirement date, then funded as an inflation-adjusted income for life using a 3% real drawdown - net of your projected EPF and existing investments.
    Growth projectionsLong-run Indian averages: equity 10–14%, debt 6.5–8%, gold 7.5–11%, depending on which of the three scenarios you pick. Inflation is taken at 6%.

    Common questions

    Questions people ask before they start

    Is this really free, and do I need to sign up?

    Yes, and no. There is no account, no sign-up and no payment. You're only asked for an email address if you choose to save your plan as a PDF at the end - the tool itself is fully usable without giving one.

    Where does my financial data go?

    Nowhere. Every calculation happens inside your own browser. Your income, savings and debts are never sent to a server, never stored, and are gone the moment you close the tab. Each visit starts a fresh profile.

    How much emergency fund do I actually need?

    Six months of your essential expenses and your EMIs, if you have a steady salary. Nine to ten months if you freelance, run a business, earn largely through commissions, or are the sole earner supporting dependents.

    The EMI part is the bit most calculators miss. Your rent and groceries may be flexible in a crisis; your loan repayment is not.

    How much term insurance should I take?

    Broadly 10–15× your annual income, plus any outstanding loans, minus the financial assets your family could already fall back on. A 30-year-old earning ₹12 lakh with a ₹30 lakh home loan typically lands somewhere near ₹2 crore.

    Buy pure term cover only. Endowment, ULIP and money-back policies bundle insurance with investment and generally do both jobs poorly.

    Should I pay off my loan or start investing?

    Clear anything above roughly 11% first - credit cards, personal loans, most consumer EMIs. Paying off a 16% loan is a guaranteed, tax-free 16% return, and no investment offers that with certainty.

    A home loan at 8–9% is a different case. It's cheap money, and investing alongside it usually makes more sense than rushing to prepay.

    Does it recommend specific mutual funds or stocks?

    No, deliberately. It gives you a split across asset classes - equity, debt, gold and cash - with the type of instrument each usually means. Which particular fund or stock suits you depends on things a calculator cannot see, and picking them is a job for you or a registered adviser.

    What is a step-up SIP, and why does the tool keep mentioning it?

    It means raising the amount you invest by a fixed percentage each year, usually 10%, as your income grows. It's the highest-leverage habit available to most salaried people: the same starting amount, the same returns, but a substantially larger final corpus - because your contributions grow with your salary rather than staying frozen at whatever you could afford when you started.

    Can I use this if I'm self-employed or my income varies?

    Yes. Tell it your income is variable and the benchmarks adjust - most visibly the emergency fund, which rises from six months to nine. Enter a conservative average month rather than your best one.

    What this tool is not

    This is an educational tool, not financial advice. It applies general rules of thumb to the numbers you type in - it cannot see your tax position, your job security, your health, your family's circumstances or anything else that makes your situation yours.

    Every projection is an illustration built on assumed average returns. Real markets do not deliver a steady 12% a year, and past performance does not predict future returns. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any specific security, fund, insurance policy or product.

    Before acting on anything you see here - particularly on insurance, loans or large investments - please speak to a SEBI-registered investment adviser who can look at your full picture.
