The price and the payout

Data entry is the price.
We make it pay out while you type

Nobody reconciles transactions for pleasure. They do it because it is the toll for insight they cannot otherwise buy at a price they will pay. So the counter moves while you are still filling in the first screen — and every dollar on it is nameable.

Ask anything

The narrative is the push. Questions are the pull. Both run on the same reconciled data, and an answer that cannot be traced back to your own numbers does not get given.

Where it went

Savings rate

32.2%

Fixed costs$3,120
Everyday$1,612
Saved$2,248

Reconciled across every account, with internal transfers netted out. A household with several accounts records every internal move twice — anything that counts those as spending is wrong.

The whole picture

The decisions worth six figures

Why Canada is different

The value is entirely in where the standard advice is wrong

The generic ladder — emergency fund, then debt, then investing — is common knowledge and mostly right. The exceptions are where a $25,000 planning engagement earns its fee, and where the boilerplate you will find on a forum is wrong for your household specifically.

01

The employer match beats your credit card

A 50–100% instant return has no competitor — not even 20% card debt. It is the first move in the sequence and it is routinely left on the table.

02

RESP jumps the queue

20% guaranteed on the first $2,500 per child per year beats any debt under roughly 20%. Catch-up is one prior year at a time, so missed years are gone for good.

03

With kids under six, an RRSP is worth more than your tax bracket says

Contributions cut net income, which raises the Canada Child Benefit. The effective rate reaches 50–70% — enough to beat paying down a 6% mortgage.

04

For a low-income retiree, an RRSP is actively harmful

Withdrawals claw back the Guaranteed Income Supplement at roughly fifty cents on the dollar. TFSA first, always. Getting this backwards does real damage.

Ontario and British Columbia are verified for the 2026 tax year. Other provinces are not supported yet, and we would rather say nothing than say something wrong.

What this costs elsewhere

A fee-only planner

Runs the plays once, hands you a PDF. Stale in six months.

A dedicated advisor

0.9% / yr

Plus a $1M minimum in assets. Reviewed once or twice a year.

Toonies

$2 / month

Every play, recomputed on every new fact. No minimum.

We are software, not an adviser. Findings describe patterns in your data and quantify them — they never recommend a product.

The forecast

Two labelled lines, not a fog

A cone of probability reads as vagueness. Two lines read as a range you can reason about — with the Stage you will be standing on marked along the way. Add an event and watch both redraw against the old ones.

From households using it

What it replaced was a spreadsheet

I'd been sitting on $22,000 in chequing for about two years, purely because moving it felt like admin. Toonies put a number on what that was costing me — $740 a year — and I moved it that afternoon.

Friend of the founder

The RRSP and Child Benefit thing I genuinely did not know about, and my accountant has never once mentioned it. It changed what I contributed in February.

Placeholder name

Ottawa · single income

Family member of the founder

I export the CSV once a month and it just knows what everything is. No categorising, no cleaning up after it. That was the part I fully expected to hate.

Households, not accounts

Add your partner free and get the household layer

Start alone — one person does the entering. But spousal room, splitting and CCB are all two-sided, so the second participant was never allowed to be expensive to add.

NSJS

Reasonably asked

No, and that is a deliberate line rather than a disclaimer. Every finding describes something in your data, quantifies it, and stops. It will tell you $18,400 has sat in chequing since March at roughly 0.05% while comparable Canadian HISA rates are 3–4%, and that the gap is about $640 a year. It will not tell you which account to open.
