How it works
Three layers, and nothing leaks between them
Most planners give you one number and a pile of inputs. Monte separates what is true from what you are considering — so you can explore hard without ever putting your real plan at risk.
Facts
Your dashboard
What is true today — income, spending, balances, debts, the home. Change something here and it lands in every plan you keep, because it is a fact about you rather than about any one future. A plan that deliberately disagrees is left alone, and told to you by name.
Plans
Named futures
A plan is a whole possible future built on those facts, with its own scenarios hanging off it. Keep more than one — “what if we moved” and “what if we stayed” can both stay open — put two side by side, and take any single difference across.
Scenarios
Questions you ask
A sealed sketchpad hung off one plan. Try anything: retire at 55, buy the house, drop to one income. Nothing touches the plan until you press Add to plan — and that leaves a receipt you can undo.
Features
Everything you need to map the route ahead
A deterministic forecasting engine, a dashboard that reconciles with your real paycheck, and a planner that runs right in your browser.
Your money, traced
Every dollar, from gross to where it lands
A real paystub, not a pie chart. Income flows into the gross pool; pre-tax 401(k) and HSA come off beside taxes and payroll deductions in paystub order; take-home joins your available cash and fans out to spending, debts and savings — each to the actual category, loan or account. Employer match flies in as its own source.
Two futures at once
Put one plan beside another
Keep “what if we moved” and “what if we stayed” as separate plans, then draw one straight over the other on the same chart. Monte itemises every difference between them — each changed age, amount and life event — so you can take just the ones you want across.
The lenses
6 big decisions, each with its own view
Every lens runs on the same forecast and answers one question properly — with the verdict written on the chart, not left for you to infer.
Retire early. Stop working early — find the earliest age your money comfortably lasts a lifetime.
Under the hood
Credible enough to act on
A forecast is only as good as its assumptions. Here’s what Monte works out for you — and what it won’t pretend to know.
Your state, not just federal
All fifty of them, plus DC, at the current year’s published rates — alongside your federal brackets and payroll tax.
Real IRS numbers, kept current
Rates, brackets and contribution limits come from the IRS and each state, not from a number someone typed in once.
Inflation won’t fake a tax hike
A raise that only keeps pace with inflation won’t quietly push you into a higher bracket twenty years out.
The month matters
Buying in March and buying in November are different answers, and Monte knows which one you picked.
Retirement’s fiddly parts
Social Security timing, the withdrawals the IRS eventually forces on your 401(k), and two people retiring at different times.
What a withdrawal really costs
Taking $50,000 out of a 401(k) costs more than $50,000. Monte works out how much more, at your real rate.
One line you can trace. Same inputs, same forecast — every figure traces back to the assumption behind it. Monte Carlo, running your plan through thousands of market histories, is on the roadmap rather than in today’s engine. Planning estimates, not filing figures or advice.

Pro
Not yet on sale
A tier for the things that cost real money to run: linked accounts so your balances follow reality, an assistant you can describe a what-if to in plain English, and Monte Carlo simulation over your plan. Built, being reviewed, and not for sale until it works end to end — we’d rather ship it late than bill for it early.
Privacy
Your numbers are the most personal data you have
So the planner needs as little of them as it can — and lets you keep them on your own machine.
The math happens here
Worked out on your own computer, not sent away — which is why it redraws the instant you move a slider.
Keep it here if you’d rather
We back it up so it follows you between devices. One switch in Settings turns that off and it stays in this browser.
We can’t see your money
We can see which parts of the app get used. Every number on your screen is blanked out before anything reaches us.
What we won’t claim. We don’t sell your data and we don’t run ads. If you use backup we could technically read your plan — access is limited and logged — but encryption guards against a stolen hard drive, not against the company holding it. Not good enough? Keep everything on your device. Read the full policy →
About
Why we built Monte
Most people make their biggest financial decisions half-blind — guessing at a future they can’t see.
“Monte” is the mountain. Planning your finances is the ascent: every goal is a summit, and every “what if?” is scouting the path over the next ridge. The name also nods to Monte Carlo — the math of mapping out many possible futures.
A credible forecast shouldn’t require a spreadsheet wizard or an advisor’s calendar. So we built a planner that’s rigorous under the hood and genuinely a pleasure to use — one that helps a first-time homebuyer today and grows with them for decades. Calm confidence, by design.
