You own what you enter. We hold it in confidence and use it only to operate the Service for you.
Projections are educational. Nothing in the Service is financial, tax, or legal advice.
No subscription or payment card is required. Projections, simulations, Strategy Lab, plan copying, and report exports are free.
Your financial plan is yours alone. You decide whether to share it and who gets access.
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and MoneyWhatIf (the “Operator”). By creating an account, selecting an acceptance control, or otherwise accessing or using the Service after these Terms are presented to you, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which forms part of them. If you do not agree, please do not access or use the Service. Each section below opens with a short summary, marked “In brief,” to help you read it. The summaries are provided for convenience only; the full text of each section governs.
01
Acceptance and operator
Using MoneyWhatIf means agreeing to these Terms. Here is who you are agreeing with, and how to reach them.
“MoneyWhatIf,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to MoneyWhatIf. “You” and “your” refer to the individual or entity accessing the website, application programming interface, support channels, and related services that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Service”). These Terms take effect for you when you first accept them or first use the Service, whichever occurs earlier.

Eligibility and accounts
You must be an adult. Keep your account details accurate and your sign-in to yourself, and tell us if you think someone else has used it.
You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes the organization.
You agree to provide accurate account information, to maintain a current email address, to safeguard your credentials and devices, and to notify us promptly of any suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity conducted through your account to the extent permitted by law. You may not transfer your account or allow another person to use your credentials. We encourage you to enable a second sign-in factor from your profile page.
03
License and permitted use
You may use MoneyWhatIf for your own household’s planning. On the Professionals plan, you may also use it in your professional work for the clients you serve, with their permission.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to access and use the Service for lawful financial planning and exploration for yourself and your household. This license does not transfer ownership of the Service or of any software, model, design, or content we supply.
If you subscribe to the Professionals plan, the license additionally permits you to use the Service in the course of your professional work to maintain profiles for the clients you serve. In doing so, you represent that you hold each client’s authorization to enter and hold their information, that you will treat that information in accordance with applicable law and any professional obligations that bind you, and that you remain solely responsible for the advice you give.
04
Projections and no professional advice
MoneyWhatIf shows what your assumptions imply. It does not know your full circumstances and is not a substitute for a qualified professional.
Nothing in the Service constitutes individualized financial, investment, tax, accounting, legal, insurance, credit, or retirement advice. No fiduciary, advisory, brokerage, attorney-client, accountant-client, or similar professional relationship is created by your use of it.
Projections are estimates generated from the assumptions you select, from simplified rules, and from available reference data. They are not guarantees, valuations, offers, recommendations, or promises of future results. Tax laws, benefits, markets, prices, personal circumstances, and data sources can change, or can differ from the model. Actual results may differ materially from any projection.
You are solely responsible for reviewing the inputs and outputs and for any decision you make using them. Please consult appropriately qualified professionals before making a significant financial, investment, tax, legal, insurance, housing, credit, or retirement decision.
05
Your content and your privacy
Everything you enter stays yours. We use it only to run the Service for you, never sell it or use it for advertising, and keep it private in the ways the Privacy Policy promises.
As between you and the Operator, you retain ownership of the plan information, labels, assumptions, and other content you submit (“User Content”). You grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, process, reproduce, and transmit User Content solely as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, maintain, and support the Service, to comply with law, and to carry out your instructions. This license ends when the content is deleted, subject to the limited backup, legal, and security retention described in the Privacy Policy.
We hold User Content in confidence. We will not sell it, use it for advertising, use it to train artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models, or disclose it to anyone except as the Privacy Policy describes. Our personnel access it only where necessary to operate the Service, to respond to a request you have made, or to investigate a security incident. Every plan is private to its owner unless and until the owner shares it.
You represent that you have the rights and permissions necessary to provide User Content and that it does not violate the law or the rights of any other person. Do not enter another person’s financial information without their authorization. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms and describes how personal information is handled; where these Terms and the Privacy Policy address the same matter, the provision that better protects your privacy applies.
Community submissions
The Service includes a public feature-request board. A request, comment, or vote you submit there is shown to other readers beside your display name once it has been reviewed. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display and use those submissions to operate the board and improve the Service, and you agree that we may edit, decline, or remove a submission at our reasonable discretion. Please do not include personal financial details in a submission; it is a public place.
06
Plan sharing
Sharing is your choice and under your control. Choose recipients with care, because a copy someone has already made cannot be recalled.
Plans are restricted by default. If you designate a recipient or enable anyone-with-the-link access, you instruct us to provide the selected access. You are responsible for your choice of recipients, for the information a plan contains, and for protecting any link you share. A recipient may copy, download, photograph, or otherwise retain information they are able to view. Revoking access prevents future access through the Service but cannot recover a copy a recipient has already made.
You may not share personal information unlawfully or without any permission the law requires. We may restrict sharing that reasonably appears unlawful, abusive, deceptive, or dangerous.
07
Free access
MoneyWhatIf is currently free to use. No subscription, payment card, or trial that converts to a paid plan is required.
Projections, Monte Carlo simulations, Strategy Lab, plan copying, and report exports are available without payment. An account can keep two saved plans and one profile of its own. Profiles other people share with you do not count toward that profile allowance.
No new paid subscriptions are offered. If you have a subscription from when paid plans were available, the terms you accepted for that subscription still apply. For help managing or cancelling it, contact us.
08
Prohibited conduct
Use the Service honestly and lawfully. Do not break into it, overload it, copy it, or use it to harm anyone.
You may not, and may not assist another person to:
- use the Service unlawfully, or to infringe, deceive, harass, exploit, or harm any person;
- access an account, plan, system, or data without authorization;
- evade or interfere with authentication, encryption, access controls, rate limits, or the boundaries of security testing;
- introduce malware or code intended to disrupt, damage, monitor, or obtain unauthorized access;
- scrape, crawl, automate, or burden the Service at a scale inconsistent with ordinary use;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to discover source code, except to the limited extent applicable law expressly permits;
- misrepresent an affiliation, impersonate another person, or submit false account information; or
- sell, sublicense, frame, mirror, or commercially exploit the Service without our written permission.
09
Intellectual property and feedback
The Service itself belongs to us. Your plan belongs to you. If you send us a suggestion, we may use it, but that never extends to your plan.
The Service, including its software, calculations, models, interfaces, visual design, documentation, text, graphics, and branding, is owned by the Operator or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license granted above, all rights are reserved.
If you voluntarily provide suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use it for any lawful purpose without compensation or attribution. This feedback license does not transfer ownership of your User Content, and it does not authorize any use of your private financial plan.
10
Third-party services
A few trusted providers help run the Service. Each has its own terms for its own part, and none of them may use your plan for their own purposes.
The Service relies on third-party providers, including Google Firebase for authentication, Vercel and DigitalOcean for hosting, Stripe for payments, and Plaid for optional financial account connections. Their components may be subject to separate terms and privacy notices, and our agreements with them confine their use of your information to the services they perform for us. We do not control, and are not responsible for, an independent third-party website, product, or service. A link or integration does not imply endorsement.
11
Changes and availability
The Service will keep improving, and occasionally it will be down. If these Terms change in a way that matters, you will hear about it first.
We may maintain, modify, add, suspend, or discontinue features, and may impose reasonable usage or security limits. We will provide notice where applicable law requires it. We do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or permanent availability, or compatibility with every device or browser. Please keep an independent record of any information you cannot afford to lose.
We may revise these Terms prospectively. The effective date identifies the current version. We will give at least 30 days’ notice of a material change, unless a shorter period is required for legal or security reasons, and we will seek renewed affirmative acceptance where the law requires it. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service before they take effect.
12
Suspension and termination
You can leave whenever you like. We may close an account only for a serious reason, and we will usually warn you first.
You may stop using the Service at any time, delete individual plans, and delete your account from your profile page. We may suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary to address a material or repeated breach of these Terms, to protect the Service or another person, to prevent fraud or abuse, or to comply with law. Where appropriate, we will provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure.
On termination, the license granted to you ends, and any fees already paid are not refunded, as described in the section on subscriptions. Provisions concerning intellectual property, feedback, fees, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, disputes, and general interpretation survive termination to the extent their nature requires.
13
Warranty disclaimer
We provide the Service as it is. We do not promise a particular financial result, and we cannot promise it will never be wrong or unavailable.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE OPERATOR DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT ANY FINANCIAL RESULT, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY SECURE.
Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty exclusions. In those jurisdictions, the exclusions above apply only to the extent permitted by law, and your mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
14
Limitation of liability
Our responsibility to you is capped at what you paid us in the past year, or US$100 if more, except where the law does not allow such a limit.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, SAVINGS, OPPORTUNITIES, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THEIR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) US$100.
These limits do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including, where applicable, liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence.
15
Responsibility for third-party claims
If your misuse of the Service leads someone else to bring a claim against us, you agree to stand behind it.
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Operator and its personnel from any third-party claim, damage, judgment, loss, or reasonable cost arising from your unlawful use of the Service, from User Content that violates another person’s rights, or from your material breach of these Terms. We will provide reasonable notice of a covered claim and permit you to control its defense, subject to our right to participate with counsel of our choice. You may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault by us or imposes an obligation on us without our written consent.
16
Governing law and disputes
If we ever disagree, we will first try to sort it out by talking for 30 days. There is no forced arbitration and no class-action waiver in these Terms.
Except to the extent that mandatory law in your place of residence applies, these Terms and any dispute arising from them or from the Service are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Operator is principally established, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the courts having jurisdiction where the Operator is principally established. Either party may bring an eligible matter in small-claims court.
Before filing a claim, you and the Operator agree to make a good-faith effort, for at least 30 days, to resolve it informally. Send a written notice describing the dispute, the relief requested, and the relevant account email to the contact below. This informal process does not extend a legal deadline unless applicable law provides otherwise. These Terms do not require arbitration, and they do not waive any right to participate in a class action where that right exists.
17
General provisions
The usual housekeeping: these Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement, and the rest still applies if one part is struck out.
These Terms and the incorporated Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement concerning the Service, unless a separate written agreement applies. If a provision is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect. A waiver must be express and applies only to the specific instance. Headings and the “In brief” summaries are for convenience and do not control interpretation.
You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We will not assign these Terms in a manner that materially reduces your privacy or consumer rights without notice and any consent the law requires. We are not responsible for a delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control. Notices may be delivered to the email address associated with your account or posted conspicuously in the Service. Electronic records and acceptance controls have the same effect as paper records and signatures to the extent permitted by law.
18
Contact and legal notices
Questions and required notices may be sent to MoneyWhatIf at team@moneywhatif.com or prepared on the contact page. A legal notice should state that it is a formal notice under these Terms and include the sender’s name, account email, and a clear description of the matter.
