Descriptions you can copy
One line
Beyond Payday is a household money and retirement planner that never connects to your bank.
Short
See what’s left each month, and what a new job, a house, a baby or paying off debt would change. No bank linking. Find bills to cut, see prices in hours of work, and how long you’d last without a paycheck. Share with a partner and track net worth, goals and debt payoff. Pro plans retirement month by month up to age 100, even after you retire, with Social Security, pensions and 10,000 Monte Carlo runs, plus Beth, an AI assistant. Or connect ChatGPT or Claude. Free plan; 30-day Pro trial, no credit card.
Long
See what’s left each month, and what a new job, a house, a baby or paying off debt would change. Beyond Payday never links to your bank. You enter your own numbers, so there’s nothing to sync and no transactions to categorize.
Pick a change, like buying a home or losing an income, and see how it moves what’s left each month and your net worth. Find bills to cut with hand-written savings tips. See any price in hours of work, in the app or while you shop. Build an SHTF plan that shows how long you’d last without a paycheck.
Share with your partner, each with your own login, and give kids limited access. Track net worth over time, savings goals, and a debt payoff plan (avalanche or snowball) with a debt-free date.
Pro plans retirement month by month up to age 100, even after you retire, with Social Security, pensions and up to 10,000 Monte Carlo runs. It also tracks side businesses, scans paystubs without limits, and includes Beth, an AI assistant that answers from your own numbers. Or connect ChatGPT or Claude to your plan.
The free plan has no time limit. New accounts get a 30-day Pro trial with no credit card, and it drops back to Free instead of billing you. Pro is $9 a month. No ads, no data sales. Works on the web, iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and Windows.
Brand lines
- Know what’s left. Plan what’s next. (slogan)
- For life after payday. And life after paychecks.
What makes it different
No bank linking, ever
Most budgeting apps start by asking for your bank login. Beyond Payday does not ask for it at all, so there is no bank credential to leak and no aggregator in the middle.
Built for the whole household
One account covers the family. A spouse or partner can share it, and children can be added with limited, per-feature access.
Retirement math, year by year
Pro projects savings up to age 100 with Social Security at any claiming age from 62 to 70, pensions, and Monte Carlo stress tests.
An emergency plan for when income stops
The free SHTF plan shows how long your money would last in four situations, from high inflation to losing income for good, and lets you test cutting bills, using savings, or selling things.
An AI assistant, Beth
Beth answers questions about your own numbers in plain English. It is read-only by default; if the household turns on Read & write, it can propose changes that are saved only when the user taps Confirm. Pro only.
Works inside ChatGPT and Claude
An optional connector lets you ask ChatGPT or Claude about your own Beyond Payday plan.
Side businesses included
Pro tracks each business’s revenue and expenses and carries its profit or loss into household take-home pay.

Founder
Shane Stebner is a software developer in South Florida who has spent most of a career building for the web.
Shane gave up on finance apps because keeping them working was a chore. The bank connections broke and needed fixing constantly. Transactions landed in odd categories, repeat purchases got flagged as subscriptions, and whatever the app got wrong had to be sorted by hand. So Shane ran the household’s money from a spreadsheet instead, for 15 years.
Beyond Payday is that spreadsheet, rebuilt as an app: no bank feed to babysit, just the numbers and the math. In Shane’s words, “It’s the spreadsheet I used for 15 years, on steroids.” Shane still uses it at home every month.
