General
What is Walk Me Through It?
A long-range financial planner. You describe your household once: ages, pay, accounts, spending, homes, cars, loans and benefits. It plays your plan forward year by year and shows what you'll have, the tax you'll pay, and the chance your money lasts.
Who is it for?
Anyone who wants a long-range money plan without handing a bank login to an app or paying a yearly subscription. You don't need to know finance terms. The walkthrough explains each step in plain language.
Is it financial advice?
No. Walk Me Through It is an educational planning tool. Its projections are estimates based on the numbers and assumptions you enter, and real results will differ. For advice about your situation, talk to a qualified professional.
What does WMTI stand for?
Walk Me Through It. WMTI™ is our short name for the app.
Privacy and your data
Where is my data stored?
On your own device. The planner runs on your phone or computer, and nothing you enter is sent to us.
Do I need an account?
No. You don't sign up or give us an email address to use the app.
Does it connect to my bank?
No. You type in your numbers or import them yourself. We never ask for bank passwords.
What if I lose my phone or clear my browser?
Because we never hold a copy, we can't restore your data. Save a backup of your scenarios from the app and keep it somewhere safe.
How do I delete my data?
Remove the app's data from your device. There is no other copy.
Pricing
Is it free?
Yes. Building your plan, the year-by-year projection and the chance your money lasts are free, for good. See pricing.
What does Pro add?
Tools for deciding between plans: side-by-side comparisons, the optimizer, and the final PDF report and exports.
Is there a subscription?
No. Pro is a one-time purchase.
Can I use Pro on a new phone?
Purchases go through the App Store or Google Play, so you can restore them on a new device signed in to the same store account.
How much will Pro cost?
We're setting the price with beta testers and will post it before launch.
Using the app
What can I plan for?
Retirement age, saving and spending, buying or selling a home, cars, paying off loans, children and college, benefits and healthcare, and moving to another state.
How does it handle uncertainty?
It runs your plan hundreds of times with different market returns, inflation and costs. The spread of results shows how much luck matters, and the chance your money lasts sums it up.
Does it include taxes?
Yes. It models US federal tax and the tax rules of all 50 states and Washington, D.C., including strategies such as Roth conversions.
Which devices does it run on?
A web version is open to invited testers now. Apps for iPhone and Android are in development.
