One product, five built-in tools. Each tab connects to the same forecast engine — change one input, every projection updates.

PAYING DOWN DEBT

Crush six balances in 26 months, not six years.

Tests every payoff strategy across all orderings. Avalanche, snowball, dynamic, promo-aware — picks the one that saves you most.

avg user: −$30k interest
MIDDLE-CLASS W-2

Know exactly what each paycheck can absorb.

Bi-weekly paychecks meet monthly bills meet quarterly insurance. The math just works.

no spreadsheets needed
HIGH EARNERS

RSUs, K-1s, bonuses, side income — all reconciled.

One-time income, irregular cash flow, multi-frequency paydays. Forecast 4 years out with confidence.

forecast: up to 1,500 days
FREELANCERS · 1099

Variable income that doesn't break the budget.

Override any paycheck for that one weird month. Side gigs, client wires, plasma donations — it all maps cleanly.

multi-stream ready

Five tools, one truth

Everything you need to control your money.

Each tool is fully functional. Each one talks to the others. None of them are paywalled.

01 / BUDGET

Cash-flow forecast, day by day.

Map every paycheck and every bill onto a calendar. See your lowest balance, find the tight weeks before they hit you. Forecast up to 1,500 days.

📊
02 / DEBT

Multi-strategy avalanche engine.

Tests every strategy across every ordering. Tells you the exact payment to make, this paycheck, on which card.

03 / PAYCHECK

Take-home math that's actually accurate.

Federal, state, FICA, 401(k), HSA, post-tax deductions. Bi-weekly, semi-monthly, weekly, monthly — whatever your employer does.

$
04 / W-4

Calibrate your withholding once.

Two jobs, one job, married, single — same form. Tells you exactly what to put on Lines 4a/4b/4c so April never surprises you.

W4

How it works

Three steps. No bank linking required.

Manual entry, by design. The math doesn't care if you typed it or scraped it from Plaid — and we don't want your credentials.

Paychecks, side income, one-time bonuses. Set the frequency and we'll project them out forever.

Salary +$5,447 bi-weekly
Bonus +$20,000 Mar 2027
1099 +$3,200 monthly
STEP 02

Enter what you owe.

Bills, subscriptions, debts. APR, promo-rate expirations, due day, last-paid date. We track the schedule.

Mortgage −$4,893 day 1
Sofi 9.80% −$1,899 day 18
Citi 0% → 25.24% Oct '26
STEP 03

FAQ

Common questions.

Do you connect to my bank?

No. Manual entry, by design. We never see your credentials, and there's nothing to revoke if you cancel.

How accurate is the tax return?

Cross-validated against my own CPA-prepared returns for multiple filing years. Supports W-2, 1099, K-1, Schedule A/B/C/D/E plus QBI, AMT, NIIT, and Form 2210 underpayment penalty. Use it as a planning tool — not as a substitute for a CPA on a complex return.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Trial is 14 days free, no card. Paid plan cancels in one click; we keep your data for 30 days in case you change your mind.

Does it handle RSUs / K-1s?

Yes. RSU vesting maps as one-time income; K-1 distributions can be modeled as recurring or one-time. Capital gains live in the tax tool.

What about variable income?

Set a base amount and override any individual paycheck. Useful for 1099 contractors, freelancers, side gigs — anything irregular.

How is this different from Mint / YNAB?

YNAB is rules. Mint is dashboards. SalaryIQ is forecasting + tax math + debt strategy. Different tool for a different problem.
