Scenario planning for real life

Compare financial paths.
Update the model when life changes.

Save two futures side by side: rent vs buy, pay off debt vs invest, or retire at 55 vs 65. When life changes, update the assumptions. Budget and net worth tracking are included.

Built for Canada and the United States. Choose your country in settings to get the right accounts, tax rules, and housing tools.

Scenario Lab

Your financial model, saved and alive

You model rent vs buy once in a spreadsheet. Six months later the rates changed and the file is outdated or gone. Fidex saves scenarios so you can update one assumption and re-run the comparison without starting over.

  • Side-by-side comparison of multiple scenarios
  • Retirement, mortgage, and debt payoff types
  • Clone and tweak without losing the original
  • Saved comparisons you can reopen any time

Day-to-day tracking

Budget and net worth on the same ledger

Tracking and planning live in the same place, so your budget data feeds the models instead of living in a separate app you copy numbers from.

  • Category budgets with monthly caps and optional rollover
  • Double-entry ledger with CSV import or bank linking
  • Net worth tracking for assets, liabilities, and history
  • Goals, bills calendar, and subscription tracker

Savings rate this month22.4%
Built for your country

  • Canadian registered accounts, provincial tax, and housing costs
  • US retirement accounts, state tax, and mortgage rules
  • Debt payoff planner (snowball and avalanche)
  • Financial health score and portfolio tracking

Who it's for

Compare paths and track your money in one place.

Good fit

  • Comparing housing, debt, or retirement paths
  • Canadians who want RRSP, TFSA, and provincial tax built in
  • Americans who want 401(k), IRA, and state + federal tax built in
  • Long-term decisions, not day-to-day cash timing

Less suited if you need

  • Day-to-day cash timing (will this payment clear?)
  • Envelope or zero-based budgeting
  • Hands-off bank sync with no review
  • A native mobile app (web only for now)
  • Full local tax and housing tools outside Canada or the US
