PocketSim - A Wallet Simulator for EVERY scenario! Did you just start a new job? A new business? Open a new pretax or post tax account? Want to run simulations on paying off debt or potential return on investments? What about simulating any random crazy and hypothetical financial scenario quickly without having to use Google or Excel Spreadsheets? If you like this idea, PocketSim is the app for you! With a simple design you can easily create what we call 'scenarios' and our in-app calculator will automatically run month to month simulations to help you visualize any financial outcomes quickly and easily! Currently we include a broad range of variables on our "Scenarios" page that will automatically be input into the calculator and displayed on the timeline page for you to view your first scenario! Current Scenario Model includes: Scenario Name, Income Streams, Taxes, Checking Accounts, Pre Tax Accounts, Post Tax Accounts, Debt and Bills & Expenses Future: Right now our app terminology, scenario inputs and calculator are simple representations of what they're capable of and do not encompass the full embodiment of what we believe PocketSim is capable of! So please stay tuned for future updates as our tool will only get stronger, and better. NOTE: Here at PocketSim we love user feedback and strive for maintaining and designing intuitive user interfaces while keeping full calculation transparency! Please use the 'user feedback' and 'support' form to include any bugs or potential features you'd love to see! We will release new versions in the future that will help you keep track of current and future features as they come out and are agreed on creating.
