I’ve played around with it a little bit, but no one knows this tool like the man who created it, Kyle Nolan. I’ll let him show you around as he walks through some different scenarios.

You can use the “sandbox” version for free, and if you choose to upgrade to the premium version, this site may be credited with a referral. To entice you to do just that, Kyle is offering 10% off the paid version of ProjectionLab with code POF-10. Kyle, take us into the lab.

Hey everyone, I’m Kyle. I’m a software engineer from Boston who likes to scuba dive… but not here, because murky water is scary 😅

Building a Personal Finance Simulator

As I learned about leanFIRE, fatFIRE, regular FIRE, and the other variants, I wanted a visual way to map out all the options and explore the trade-offs. I went looking for a good long-term planning/forecasting tool.

Something modern, fluid, nuanced, and actually fun to use. But then apparently I blacked out and spent all my free time for the past two years building a new one instead… oops 🙃

So, fast-forward about 700 cups of coffee and a couple thousand hours of coding on nights and weekends, and let me introduce ProjectionLab.
