About Trajectory

Trajectory is a free personal finance simulator and calculator suite built to help you understand where your money goes — and where it could go. No jargon, no sign-up walls, no selling your data.

Why We Built This

Most financial tools online are either too simplistic (a single calculator with no context) or too complex (enterprise software disguised as a consumer product). We wanted something in between: powerful enough to model your actual financial life, but simple enough to use in 5 minutes.

Trajectory lets you plug in your real numbers — salary, taxes, rent, loans, savings — and see a month-by-month projection of your financial future. Change one variable and instantly see how it ripples through everything else.
