Tools
Interactive calculators built on the same scored catalog as the rest of the site. Open-source; data refreshed on the same cadence as the ETF pages.
Portfolio backtester
LiveReplay any lazy portfolio through 5 years of monthly total returns. Shows the equity curve, CAGR, and max drawdown so you can size a portfolio's drawdown profile against your tolerance.
ETF overlap tool
LiveCompare holdings across up to six funds at once. Renders a pairwise heatmap and ranks pairs by holdings overlap — answers the open-ended questions /compare/ intentionally doesn't pre-render.
Tax-loss harvesting partner finder
LiveFor any catalog fund, ranks every catalog candidate by holdings overlap and flags wash-sale risk where the candidate tracks the same index. Hides same-index funds by default.
Expense-ratio cost calculator
LiveCompounds the dollar difference between two expense ratios over a multi-decade holding period. The right framing for "is 3 bps vs 20 bps a big deal?"
Tax-placement optimizer
LiveSame allocation, three accounts. Pick a lazy portfolio + enter balances; see which fund belongs in taxable vs. tax-deferred vs. Roth, with rationale and estimated annual drag.
Retirement contribution projector
LiveFour inputs, one stacked chart. Shows the ending balance and — more importantly — what share of it came from compounding versus what you actually contributed.
Loan repayment calculator
LiveStandard amortization for mortgages, auto loans, and student debt. Monthly payment, total interest paid, and a balance curve so the early-year interest share is visible.
