    Why there's no bank login

    Apps like Lunch Money or Monarch link to your bank and pull in every transaction. That's handy, and it costs a subscription and a lot of trust. The Snapshot goes the other way: you type a few numbers once a month and nothing leaves your phone or computer. Typing them is part of the point. Ten minutes with your own numbers teaches you more than a feed that fills itself.

    What the numbers mean

    • On track to save: take-home pay, minus every bill, minus your plan for each category (or what you've spent, if that's more), as a share of take-home pay. Saved so far only counts what's gone out already.
    • Not planned yet: income with no bill and no category. Give it a job (TFSA, FHSA, cushion) before it turns into spending.
    • Cash cushion: chequing and savings divided by one month of bills and planned spending. Three to six months is the usual target.
    • Net worth: everything you own on this page, minus everything you owe.
    Your move · 10 minutes, on payday

    Set up your month

    1. Put in your take-home pay and your bills. Tick the ones already paid.
    2. Give each category a plan. Whatever's left under "Not planned yet" goes to an account on purpose.
    3. Once a week, update "spent so far" from your bank app. When the month ends, start the next one: your plan carries over and the month is saved under "Your months".

    Sources and method

    Where this comes from

    • CRA: TFSA, if you over-contribute: 1% of the highest excess in each month it stays in. Withdrawals come back as room on January 1 of the next year.
    • CRA: Participating in your FHSAs: $8,000 of room a year starting the year you open your first FHSA, up to $8,000 carried forward, contributions count for the calendar year (deadline December 31), 1% a month on an excess.
    • CRA: How contributions affect your RRSP deduction limit (modified January 29, 2026): the deadline is 60 days after the end of the year, moved to the next business day on a weekend (March 2, 2026 for 2025; March 1, 2027 for 2026, as on our money calendar).
    • CRA: RRSP excess contributions: above a $2,000 cushion, an excess is taxed 1% a month.
    • The card interest line uses a 20% yearly rate as a typical figure. The fee line uses a 2% MER as an example. Neither is your rate: check your statements.
    • Your numbers are saved in this browser's storage so they're there next time. Clearing your browser data, or "Clear everything" above, removes them. Nothing is sent to Planted North.
