Features
Cipili covers the money decisions most people face, explains the trade-offs in plain English, and shows the assumptions behind every number.
Nine money modules
Each module asks a few questions, compares your realistic options, and explains what each one costs you.
- College ROI
Compare schools by real cost, debt, and earnings outcomes.
- Credit Cards
A starter card that fits your credit and spending.
- Banking
Stop leaving interest on the table with the right account.
- Budget
See where your money goes and your true savings rate.
- Loans & Mortgages
What home or car actually fits your budget, before you borrow.
- Investing Basics
Accounts, compounding, and your next move, in plain English.
- Insurance
What coverage you actually need, minus the sales pitch.
- Taxes
Brackets, marginal vs. effective rate, and your real tax bill.
- Pension & Annuities
Lump sum or monthly income? See the trade-off in plain English.
- Estate Planning
Who decides, and who inherits, if you can't say so yourself.
- Career & Income
The other half of the equation: earning more, not just spending less.
Tools that track where you stand
- Financial health score. One score per module across four dimensions, so you can see which area is dragging and why.
- Net worth tracking. Assets against debts, updated as your numbers change.
- Score simulator. Change an input and watch the score move before you change anything in real life.
- Forecast and FIRE projection. Where your current trajectory lands, with the assumptions stated on the page.
- Goals and to-dos. Turn a recommendation into a short list of next steps.
- Monthly checkups. A recurring pass over what moved and what to look at next.
Every number shows its work
Cipili does not hand you a figure and ask you to trust it. Each recommendation carries the inputs it used, the assumptions behind it, and a confidence level. Change an assumption and the number changes with it.
Recommendations are ranked by fit to your situation. Nothing is ranked by what a partner pays us.
Built to adapt to your stage
A high schooler comparing colleges and someone five years from retirement should not see the same dashboard. Onboarding adapts to your life stage and orders your modules by what actually matters right now.
Cipili provides financial education, comparisons, and estimates based on the information you provide. It does not provide investment, tax, legal, or accounting advice, and is not a registered investment adviser or fiduciary. Estimates rest on stated assumptions and are not guarantees of future results.
