planning your own way

When income doesn't arrive in equal monthly instalments.

Most personal finance tools assume a steady monthly salary. For freelancers, the reality is different. A good month might be followed by a quiet one. A project that was expected in March arrives in May. The tools here are built to handle that.

You can model variable income streams, explore what a buffer fund should look like given your specific income pattern, and simulate how different allocation strategies hold up across both busy and quiet periods.

Nothing here constitutes financial advice. The platform is informational and educational - a space to explore, not a service that recommends.

Scenarios built for independent work

Each simulator addresses a challenge that freelancers and self-employed professionals encounter regularly.

Variable Income Modeller

Enter income ranges rather than fixed amounts. The simulator shows how different months play out and what a sustainable average looks like across the year.

Tax Provision Planner

Explore different approaches to setting aside funds for tax obligations. See how various provision rates affect your available cash across different income months.

Quiet Period Simulator

Model what happens during a low-income period. How long would your current reserves last? What would you need to save during busy periods to cover a quiet month?

Growth Scenario Planner

Explore how your financial picture changes as your freelance income grows. At what point does it make sense to change your allocation strategy? The simulator lets you test that.

A practical way to explore your options

01

Enter your income range

Rather than a single monthly figure, enter your typical low, average, and high income months. The simulator builds a realistic starting picture.

02

Set your fixed costs

Map your non-negotiable monthly outgoings. Rent, subscriptions, insurance - the baseline that remains constant regardless of income.

03

Explore allocation scenarios

Test different approaches to splitting your income: how much to set aside for tax, how much to save, how much to keep available. See the effects across a full simulated year.

04

Compare and adjust

Run multiple versions side by side. Find the allocation pattern that creates the most resilience across different income scenarios.
