Your balance shows how much money you have. Not what it can do.

Some of the most consequential facts about your finances never appear on a statement. Start with one. What does time quietly do to money that sits still?

What happens to money sitting in an account?

On your statement
$10,000
What it buys, in today’s dollars
$6,41935.8% less buying power
Chart comparing the statement balance with its buying power over time.

After 15 years at 3.0% inflation, your statement would still read $10,000, but it would buy roughly what $6,419 buys today.

Everything here runs in your browser. Nothing you enter is stored or sent.

How this is calculated, and what it leaves out

Buying power in today’s dollars = amount × ((1 + interest) ÷ (1 + inflation))years. The statement balance is amount × (1 + interest)years.

Both rates are held constant and compound once a year. Real inflation and interest rates change from year to year, and this ignores taxes on interest, fees, deposits and withdrawals. It’s an illustration of a mechanism, not a forecast or advice.

Your own inflation rate depends on what you spend money on, which is why it can differ from published figures like the Consumer Price Index.

The number stayed put. What it could do for you didn’t. Nothing on a statement would have told you.

That gap is one of several things that sit beneath an ordinary balance. Others include what you’ve committed to every month, how your accounts add up together, how your investments drift and how long a business’s cash lasts. Each becomes measurable once you can see your money in one place. Maxint helps you see it, understand it and act on it, on your own or with the people you trust.

    What your bank and advisor don’t have to tell you

    Most banks and advisors follow the rules. The rules just don’t require them to point out everything that would help you. Here are things many people assume, and how they actually work. The rules described are for the United States; other countries differ.

    “My bank pays me a fair rate on my savings.”

    Banks set their own rates, and they vary enormously. Many large banks pay close to nothing on checking and savings, while other insured banks pay many times more for the same kind of account. Nobody will call to tell you the difference.

    See what the gap costs or compare current savings rates

    “Deposit insurance means it doesn’t matter where my cash sits.”

    FDIC insurance protects up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each ownership category, if a bank fails. It says nothing about the interest you earn. Two insured accounts can be equally safe and pay very different rates.

    “Every financial advisor has to act in my best interest.”

    Different professionals follow different standards. Registered investment advisers owe you a fiduciary duty. Brokers follow Regulation Best Interest, which applies when they make a recommendation. Insurance agents follow state rules that vary. Many people hold more than one of these roles, so it’s worth asking which one applies to the advice you’re getting.

    “The advice is free, so I’m not paying for it.”

    When advice costs nothing upfront, it’s usually paid through commissions on the products you buy, which come out of your money one way or another. That isn’t automatically bad, but it means a recommendation can pay the advisor more for one product than another. Ask how they’re paid, in total, in dollars.

    “A 1% fee is too small to matter.”

    It’s 1% of everything you’ve invested, every year, whether returns are good or bad. Because what’s taken can no longer grow, the cost compounds. Over decades it can take a large share of what your portfolio would otherwise be worth.

    Run your own numbers

    “If I pay a fee, it shows up on my statement.”

    Some do. Others don’t. A fund’s expense ratio is taken from the fund’s returns before you ever see them, so it never appears as a charge. You’ll find it in the fund’s documents, not on your statement.

    “Products sold to protect me are always the safe choice.”

    Some products, such as certain insurance policies with an investment component, are sold by emphasizing what could go wrong. They can carry high costs, commissions and surrender charges that make leaving expensive. Protection can be genuinely valuable. Judge the protection and the investment parts separately, and ask what it costs to get out.

    “Overdraft protection protects me.”

    Often it means the bank covers a payment you couldn’t afford and charges you a fee for doing it. You can usually choose whether to have it, and seeing upcoming bills before they hit is a cheaper kind of protection.

    Three questions worth asking any advisor

    1. Are you acting as a fiduciary for everything you recommend to me, all the time?
    2. How are you paid, in total and in dollars, including commissions?
    3. What would it cost me to leave, or to sell what you recommend?

    What you didn’t know, Finsight surfaces and helps you get done

    Finsight is an agentic workspace. It surfaces what needs attention in your finances, including things you wouldn’t have known to look for, suggests an agent suited to the job, and that agent handles the work within the limits you set.

    • Ask anything

      “Why was last quarter’s spending higher than the one before?” “Which customers usually pay late?” Answers come from your own data, with the chart or table that explains them.

    • Build any view

      “Make me a widget that shows weekly runway.” “Show my spending by merchant as a heatmap.” If you can describe it, Finsight can build it into your workspace.

    • Hand off any task

      Create agents and assign them tasks as financial experts, such as a CFO, Treasurer, Analyst, Researcher or a specialist in any financial domain. Each works within the permissions you give it.

    See an example

    2. It suggests a TreasurerYou create the agent and decide what it may do.
    3. The Treasurer runs the tasksTracking runway, upcoming bills and invoices still to collect, and flagging shortfalls early.

    A pile of uncategorized transactions

    Tax season is coming and dozens of charges have no category or receipt attached.

    2. It suggests an AccountantYou create the agent and give it access to the relevant records.
    3. The Accountant sorts themReading receipts with OCR, categorizing what’s clear and leaving anything ambiguous for you.

    Agents work from your data and the permissions you give them; they don’t provide investment advice.
