Examples
Before you act on the result
Finance tools depend on assumptions about income, expenses, time, rates, and behavior. They are planning aids, not investment, tax, legal, or credit advice.
Run a conservative version and a stress version before relying on a single number.

› Is my data saved? Trust & accuracy
Yes — all inputs persist to localStorage on this device and nowhere else.
