Our Mission
Finoto was founded with a simple belief: everyone deserves access to clear, accurate, and unbiased financial tools. Whether you're planning your first budget, comparing savings accounts, or optimizing investment returns, our mission is to make complex financial calculations simple and accessible to all.
We're not here to sell you financial products, insurance, or investment packages. We're here to give you the knowledge and tools to make better financial decisions on your own terms. Financial literacy shouldn't be a luxury—it should be a universal right.
Our Story
Finoto was born from a frustrating personal experience. Like many people, our founder struggled to understand the real returns on savings accounts and the true value of salary offers. Online calculators were either too complex, filled with ads, or worse—designed to collect personal data and funnel users toward financial product sales.
We realized there was a gap in the market for truly free, transparent, and user-friendly financial tools. Tools that do what they promise without hidden agendas. Tools built by people who understand that your financial data is private and your financial decisions are your own.
Since launching in 2023, Finoto has helped hundreds of thousands of users convert salaries, calculate APY, evaluate salary changes, and understand their finances better. We've built a reputation for accuracy, speed, and transparency—and we're just getting started.

Who We Are
Finoto is built and maintained by a small team of developers, financial educators, and personal finance enthusiasts who believe in democratizing financial knowledge. While we keep our operation lean to stay independent and ad-free, our team brings combined decades of experience in software development, financial analysis, and user experience design.
We're not financial advisors—we're tool builders and educators. For personalized financial advice, consult a certified financial planner. But for accurate calculations and clear explanations? That's where we excel.
Looking Forward
Financial literacy is a journey, not a destination. As the financial landscape evolves—new investment vehicles, changing tax codes, emerging savings opportunities—we're committed to keeping Finoto relevant, accurate, and useful.
We're working on expanding our calculator suite, improving our educational content, and building community features that let users learn from each other. Stay tuned, or better yet, join our mailing list for updates (yes, we have one now—but it's opt-in, infrequent, and you can unsubscribe anytime).
