What is Moola?
Moola is a UK AI financial planning tool that turns your real numbers into one clear financial picture — in four simple steps. Enter your age, monthly take-home and savings, and Moola instantly projects your net worth, retirement pot and monthly retirement income. Connect your bank accounts via read-only Open Banking for an even more accurate picture, or add numbers by hand — connecting is always optional. Once your data is in, Moola's personalised dashboard tracks your financial runway, net worth growth and retirement timeline. Go Pro to run scenarios — what happens if you buy a home, retire five years early, or change your savings rate? Moola is built for people who want a clear, jargon-free view of their financial future without needing a financial advisor.
