I had trouble finding a good FI planning and simulation tool that could model things in enough detail to finally ditch my spreadsheets... so I decided to build one: ProjectiFi
https://projectifi.io/ https://projectifi.io/
A while back I posted a very early version here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26969173 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26969173), and just released a major overhaul with loads of new features and enhancements, many inspired by the initial HN commentary:
- Monte Carlo mode with customizable simulations, variables, probability distributions
- Backtesting on historical data
- Multiple data persistence options for subscribers: cloud synchronization, localStorage only, or manual import/export
- Stock/bond allocation curve over time
- Improved support for international use cases (currency + locale selector, custom options and contribution limits for financial goals)
- Ability to quickly switch between deterministic and probabilistic modes
- Many new event types to model a broader range of scenarios
- Better support for married filing jointly / couples planning (perhaps still not perfect, but definitely better)
- Redesigned landing page, additional UI improvements
- And more!
