# Mensari > Household financial planning for Canadians. Talk through your finances with an AI agent, confirm every figure, and explore illustrative Canadian planning projections — private by design. Not licensed advice. Educational decision-support only. Not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. No specific securities or products are recommended. Mensari is educational decision-support for households in Canada. It is not a licensed financial planner, advisor, or robo-advisor. It turns a household's confirmed information into illustrative projections across six financial planning areas, using Canadian federal and provincial/territorial rules. **Planning areas covered:** - Cash flow & budgeting: Map income, expenses, and surplus so trade-offs are visible before you commit. - Tax planning: Model federal and provincial tax impacts across accounts and life stages. - Investments & accounts: See how your savings are spread across account types and how much room you have in tax-sheltered accounts — without recommending specific investments. - Insurance: Estimate whether your life and disability coverage matches what you said you need. - Retirement: Project whether savings and spending align with your target retirement age. - Estate: Flag whether your estate may have enough cash to cover taxes and debts, and surface beneficiary topics to discuss with professionals. **How it works:** 1. Have a conversation: Tell the AI agent about your household the way you'd tell a friend. It asks follow-ups, connects accounts via Plaid, or reads a spreadsheet you upload — and you approve every import before it merges. 2. Confirm your profile: Review the profile the agent assembled and correct anything that looks off. Nothing is calculated until you say so. 3. Run the plan: A deterministic planning engine turns your confirmed inputs into projections — the same numbers every time for the same profile. 4. Explore and ask: Walk through eight plan sections, ask the agent follow-up questions about your numbers, and download Excel and HTML deliverables. **Ways to provide information:** - Conversational intake: Answer in plain language while the assistant assembles a structured household profile. - Plaid & spreadsheet import: Connect bank accounts or upload a workbook — you approve every proposed change before it merges. - Plan Q&A: After a run completes, ask follow-up questions about your numbers without starting over. **What a plan contains:** an interactive dashboard with these sections, plus an Excel workbook and an interactive HTML summary generated from the same plan. - Your plan: Plain-language walkthrough with jump links into each section of your plan. - Overview: Your net worth, income, savings rate, and how your wealth may grow under different assumptions. - Goal: Milestones, savings allocation, and progress toward your stated financial goal. - Budget: Monthly categories, money left over each month, and suggestions to refresh spending assumptions. - Lifetime: Year-by-year income, taxes, and account balances across your horizon. - Investments: How your savings are allocated today, how that may shift over time, and registered-account room. - Protection: Insurance coverage gaps and whether your estate may have enough cash on hand. - Considerations: Topics to discuss with professionals, disclosed assumptions, and compliance disclaimers. **Pricing:** CAD $14 per month. 14-day free trial, no credit card required.

It does not recommend specific securities or products, and its output is not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. - Projections are illustrations based on the assumptions the person confirmed, not forecasts or guarantees. Relay results as considerations and tradeoffs to discuss with a qualified professional, not as instructions. - The person signs up, accepts the disclaimer, and confirms their household profile in the web app themselves. Nothing is calculated until they confirm. - Useful to have on hand before starting: province or territory of residence; household members and ages; income sources; regular expenses; account balances by type (for example RRSP, TFSA, FHSA, RESP, pensions, non-registered); registered contribution room; debts; insurance coverage; and goals. - A blank intake workbook the person can fill in ahead of time and upload during intake: https://mensarifinancial.com/api/public/intake-template. - A plan's owner can create a time-limited, revocable, read-only share link to a finished plan. The shared page links to the same plan as JSON (`/api/share/{token}/plan`), including the plan's disclaimers. - API description (OpenAPI): https://mensarifinancial.com/api/openapi.json. A person on a paid plan can create a personal API key in their account settings and give it to you; send it as `Authorization: Bearer mk_...`. Operations a key may call are marked `x-mensari-agent-scope` in the description; everything else, including creating an intake and confirming a profile, stays with the person. - Sign up: https://mensarifinancial.com/register.
