## What is Cabova?

WHAT IS YOUR FREEDOM NUMBER?

Cabova is the financial independence simulator that tells you exactly when you can stop working — and proves it with the math.

Unlike budgeting apps that track your past, Cabova simulates your future. Enter your pensions, savings, and monthly expenses. Cabova projects the precise age at which your pot can sustain you for life.

PRIVACY FIRST

Your financial data never leaves your device. No bank connections. No account required. No cloud. Just powerful projections running entirely on your phone.

KEY FEATURES
——————————————————————
• Freedom Age Engine — Calculate the exact age you can retire based on your real numbers, not assumptions.
• What-If Simulator — Instantly see how a pay rise, lump sum, or extra pension contribution changes your Freedom Age.
• Pension Portfolio — Consolidate multiple pension pots (DB, DC, PRSA, SIPP) into one projection.
• Net Worth Dashboard — Track liquid and non-liquid assets in a single clean view.
• Inflation Modelling — All projections are inflation-adjusted for real purchasing power.
• Tax-Aware Projections — Built-in logic for Irish and UK pension tax rules (ARF, PRSA, SIPP, AVC).
