A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you start.

Where does my plan get saved?

In this browser on this device using local storage. It does not sync with other people or devices. Export a backup before clearing browser data or changing devices.

Can I share my plan?

Print or save a PDF report, or export a JSON backup that another person can restore here. Reports and backups may contain the details you entered; share them only with people you choose.

Do I need to connect a bank account or book anything?

No. These tools use the figures you enter. They do not connect to bank accounts, make reservations, or transfer money.
