About Budget Planner

Frequently asked questions
- Does Budget Planner round results the way banks do?
- It uses standard half-up rounding to two decimal places by default, which matches most consumer banking statements. For tax-grade rounding you should always confirm with your local accountant.
- Does the tool factor in real bank fees or transfer charges?
- Only if you enter them. Budget Planner computes the math on the figures you provide; it does not pull live fee schedules from any bank or processor.
- Can I use a different currency?
- Yes. The form is currency-agnostic — the symbol shown is just a label. Whatever number you enter is treated as a unit, so you can use USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, or anything else.
- Are my financial inputs sent anywhere?
- No. Everything is computed in the browser and discarded the moment you close the tab. There is no server logging.
- Why does my answer differ from another calculator online?
- Different tools assume different rounding, compounding, or fee inclusion rules. Read each tool's notes to compare apples to apples.
