About Market Compass

Market Compass exists to make financial decisions less confusing — with free, plain-language planners and guides, and absolutely no jargon.

Why We Built This

Market Compass was created because we believe financial planning should be easier to understand. Too many financial websites are filled with jargon, complicated calculators and information that’s difficult to apply to real life.

We wanted to build a place where anyone can explore their finances through simple, interactive planners and straightforward guides, helping them make more informed financial decisions with confidence.

Our Approach

We believe good financial decisions shouldn’t require a finance degree. Every planner on this site is designed to be used by anyone, regardless of experience — you answer a few simple questions, and we handle the maths. Every guide is written the way we’d explain it to a friend, not the way a textbook would.

We’re independent — we’re not owned by a bank, lender, or investment platform, and our planners and guides reflect that. Nothing on this site is personalised financial advice; it’s here to help you understand your options and make more informed decisions for yourself.

How We’re Funded

Market Compass is free to use, for everyone, with no plans to change that. To keep it that way, some pages include affiliate links to relevant financial products or services — if you click through and sign up for something, we may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. This never affects what we recommend or how our planners calculate your results.

Nothing on Market Compass constitutes regulated financial advice. If you need advice specific to your circumstances, we’d always recommend speaking to a qualified, FCA-regulated financial adviser.
