Every feature, in numbers.
Ample is a set of engines that share one model of your money. Each one below states what it counts and how, so you can decide whether it counts the way you do.
Plans every paycheck from one anchor.
Your official payday, your net pay, your early-release days. From those three inputs Ample lays out the payday calendar for years and plans each check.
- Paychecks a year
- 26
- Months with a third check
- 2
- Early release (default)
- 2 days
- Verdict
- every payday
- Bills due before the next payday are assigned to this check, in order, with the running balance after each.
- The checking buffer you set is topped up first. Only what sits above it is offered to savings and goals.
- Deposits that land two days early are still counted as the official payday’s check, so months are attributed correctly and cash math still uses the real landing day.
- One word for the month: All clear, Ease up or Hard stop, with chips for each driver. Materiality decides severity.
Five buckets. Rollovers where you want them.
Income, Fixed, Non-monthly, Flexible, and Savings & goals. Each group shows budget, actual and remaining, with a pace tick that knows how far into the month you are.
- Buckets
- 5
- Rollover
- per category or whole pool
- Non-monthly accrual
- target ÷ months to due
- Forecast grid
- 12 months
- Fixed categories pace against their bills; flexible ones pool, so one hot category can be covered by a cool one without an alarm.
- Non-monthly: a $1,200 bill due in December, set up in September, accrues $300 a month and draws from the funded balance when it posts, so December does not spike.
- Rollover: a $1,600 dining budget with $249 spent carries $1,351 into next month, and the cell says so.
- Pinned categories are excluded from proportional scaling; system categories (transfers, interest) never count as spending.
Finds the move. Shows the math. Waits for your tap.
Four scanners run on your data: recurring charges, debt, savings yield, and the mortgage. Every Move carries a dollar figure and the arithmetic behind it.
- Scanners
- 4
- Statuses
- new · reviewing · done · dismissed
- Outcomes
- does it · checklist · letter
- Ranked by
- your dollars
- Recurring: a charge above its own recent median for three bills in a row is a price-creep Move; a subscription with no sign of use is flagged for review, never counted as a saving on its own.
- Debt: “pay $X before the statement closes to report under 30%”, avalanche or snowball payoff orders, consolidation offers shown with the total cost and a verify-before-acting note.
- Savings: balance-weighted yield gap against the best widely available insured rate, in dollars a year.
- Mortgage: PMI removal when first-lien LTV reaches 80%, and refinance math on a principal-and-interest basis with closing costs included.
- The Found-so-far ledger totals what approved Moves have freed up, and a Move only counts once you mark it done.
Offers that come from outside sources are labeled with where they came from. Ample takes no fee from any of them. How Moves and offers are shown.
Bills, paydays and the calendar in one place.
Every bill with its frequency, next date, and the paycheck that pays it. Paydays and mortgage halves render as rows so the month reads whole.
- Frequencies
- weekly → annual
- Due-soon window
- 7 days
- Paid detection
- merchant + amount
- Calendar
- month grid
- Bills are detected from your transactions and confirmed by you; duplicates across banks are merged, not doubled.
- The calendar marks bills, paydays, mortgage halves and pending transfers; tap a day to see what lands.
- A bill flagged as paycheck-deducted is planned at halves × paydays, so a 3-paycheck month shows three halves automatically.
Your mortgage, modeled the way the servicer runs it.
Biweekly halves held in suspense, two extra halves a year to principal, PMI judged on the first lien alone, and a home value you can defend line by line.
- Extra halves a year
- 2
- PMI line
- 80% first-lien LTV
- Adjusted value
- appraisal × area + renovations
- Refi basis
- P&I + closing costs
- Biweekly halves: half the payment every payday; the servicer holds it until two halves make a payment; in a 3-paycheck month the third half goes entirely to principal. Ample walks the real payday calendar rather than assuming one lump a year.
- PMI removal: the date the first lien crosses 80% of value, and the letter to send when it does.
- Adjusted value: appraisal, times area appreciation, plus a renovation ledger with a cost-recouped factor per project. Every line editable, every factor explained.
- Net worth over time with assets and liabilities stacked, savings by purpose, debts with APR, minimums and utilization.

- Transfers and card payments are out by default so nothing counts twice; interest shows as a debt cost.

Twelve months in a grid. Then the years after.
The forecast grid shows budget and actual for every category across a year, with 3-paycheck months and mortgage halves already filled in. Long-range takes it year by year to the end of your plan.
- Forecast
- 12 months, editable
- Long-range default
- to age 90
- Scenarios
- compare 2
- Goals
- save-up · pay-down
- Edit any future month’s budget in the grid, or apply a change to the remaining months at once.
- Long-range: income sources, an expenses baseline, growth by account type, life events (retirement, a home, a raise, a career break), and a withdrawal order for shortfalls.
- Two scenarios side by side, with the difference on each stat.
- A pay-down goal shows the payoff month and interest saved against minimums. Example from the founder’s data: $1,387 at 27.49% paid at $300 a month clears in 5 months with $96 of interest, against 113 months and $1,992 on minimums.
