Questions About Our Tools

How the free tools work and what they can and can't do.

Are the tools free?

Yes. The Budget Planner, Credit Utilization Calculator and Fresh Start Checklist are free to use without creating an account.

Do you store the numbers I enter?

No. The numbers you enter stay in your browser and are not sent to Fresh Start Solution. Some tools let you choose to save a draft on your own device.

Will the calculator tell me my credit score?

No. The Credit Utilization Calculator shows a percentage for educational purposes only. It does not predict or estimate any credit score.
