About FinancialToolset

Our Mission

We started FinancialToolset because high-quality financial planning tools are often locked behind paywalls, pitch funnels, or intrusive data collection. We believe everyone deserves trusted resources that explain the “why” behind the numbers, surface trade-offs, and provide actionable next steps—without selling their information along the way.

How We Build

• Human-centered design: Every calculator pairs plain-language guidance with charts, scenarios, and printable results.
• Research-backed defaults: We source benchmark data from Federal Reserve, BLS, CDC, and industry studies so results feel realistic.
• Iterative QA: Tools ship with automated tests, manual reviews, and screenshot QA to catch regressions before they reach you.
• Open roadmap: We document enhancements and SEO improvements in public specs so contributors can follow along.

Privacy First by Design

Calculations run entirely in your browser; we never transmit the values you enter, and we do not require logins or email capture. Analytics are aggregate, cookies are minimal, and we publish updates whenever we change how data is handled.

Always Free & Accessible

Our tools are available without paywalls or limited trials. Lightweight display ads and affiliate disclosures keep the lights on while preserving an uncluttered experience. We design each tool for desktop, tablet, and mobile so you can plan from anywhere.

Beyond Calculators

We complement our calculators with deep-dive blog posts, glossary entries, and a searchable video library indexed by topic and timestamp. Whether you prefer interactive tools, long-form guides, or expert interviews, you can stay in one ecosystem and keep learning.
