Why are these free?

Most financial planning software hides basic calculations behind a paywall or requires you to link your bank account before you can get a straight answer. These tools are standalone, no-login utilities anyone can use.

If they are useful, you may want the full planning platform -- connected budgeting, savings goals, and retirement projections in one place. If not, these tools still work.
