Questions before you buy

How do I get it?

Checkout is handled by Stripe. As soon as your payment goes through you land on the download page, and the files are yours to keep.

What if it is not useful to me?

There is a 30-day refund. If it does not help, ask for your money back.

Do I need Excel?

Only for the workbook, which opens in Excel. The PDF stands on its own: every worksheet is printed in it, so you can do the whole thing with a pen.

Is this advice for my situation?

No. It is education: the rules, the tables, and the arithmetic, so you can run your own numbers. It is not tax, legal or investment advice. If you want someone to look at your situation with you, book a free second opinion.

Which tax year is it built on?

This is the 2026 edition. Every table uses 2026 figures, and each one names the government source it came from.

After you buy

Bring the filled worksheet to a free call and I will check your numbers.

Thirty minutes, in person at a Fidelity Bank branch, by phone or by video. You bring the worksheet and one statement; I check the figure line by line against your situation and you leave with the three things worth doing next, in writing. No charge, and nothing moves unless you decide it should.
