Paisa

A plain text journal is all Paisa needs to put your net worth, cash flow, expenses, and investment returns on one set of dashboards. Write entries in the built-in editor. It brings syntax highlighting, auto completion, error checking, and auto formatting to double-entry journals. Bank and credit card statements in CSV, Excel, or PDF import through reusable templates that categorize every transaction. Price providers track mutual funds, NPS holdings, and stocks. Manual prices revalue a house, a car, or a plot of land. Budgets set a limit for each category and track spending against it. Allocation targets show how far a debt and equity split has drifted. Goals compute a completion date from monthly savings. The retirement planner works from a safe withdrawal rate and yearly expenses. A calendar marks recurring bills as cleared, late, past due, or upcoming, and Liabilities pages cover credit cards, loan repayment, and interest. Live Sheets calculate taxes and EMIs from ledger data. Journals and settings stay in plain text files that can be version controlled or shared, and ledger, hledger, and beancount are all supported. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0-or-later licensed.

Benefits

  • Your Financial Data Stays Yours
  • Paisa keeps journals and settings in plain text files on your own VPS, so your financial data never leaves your system, and you can version control the files or share them by granting access.
  • Statements Import in Minutes
  • Reusable import templates convert bank and credit card statements in CSV, Excel, or PDF into ledger journal entries and categorize them, so monthly bookkeeping takes under five minutes.
  • See Net Worth and Returns Clearly
  • Dashboards track net worth, cash flow, expenses, and investment returns with XIRR, using the latest market prices for mutual funds, NPS holdings, and stocks plus manual prices for property and vehicles.
  • Plan Goals and Retirement Ahead
  • Goals calculate completion dates or required monthly savings, and a retirement planner turns a safe withdrawal rate and yearly expenses into a corpus target tracked against your savings accounts.
