Read the full description
Can I Afford It is a free tool that checks a purchase against your actual income, not a generic rule of thumb. Type in almost anything - a car, a wedding, IVF, a business loan, braces - and it weighs the cost against your monthly budget and shows a plain risk bar: low, moderate, elevated, or high. No sign-up required to use it. If you do create an account, it grows into a full budgeting toolkit: an expense calendar that lays out every bill by due date, a debt payoff planner, and much more.
