Unowe is a free, private debt-payoff and investment planner built for borrowers in India. The name is simply un-owe — to stop owing. That is the whole aim of the tool: to get you to the month where you owe nothing, sooner than your EMIs alone would manage.
You enter your loans, income and expenses. Unowe sequences every loan and card by interest rate, works out how much to send at principal each month, sizes an emergency fund, and allocates whatever surplus remains across equity, debt, gold and liquid buckets.
Financial detail is about as sensitive as personal data gets, and the safest place to put it is somewhere nobody can be breached out of. Your balances, income and loans are encrypted with AES-256-GCM in your own browser, using a key derived from your password. The server holds your email and a password hash so you can sign in — nothing else. There are no third-party trackers and no analytics.
The honest trade-off: because nothing is stored on a server, nobody can recover your plan for you if you lose both your password and your recovery key. That is why the tool pushes you to export a PDF or JSON backup, and why it refuses to sign you out when an edit has not been saved.
Unowe is an educational planning and calculation tool. It is not a registered investment adviser, is not SEBI- or IRDAI-registered, and does not provide personalised financial advice. It does not hold your money, move your money, or connect to your bank. Every figure it shows is arithmetic on the numbers you typed in, and you should check anything material against your own lender's terms before acting on it.
Most Indian financial calculators are lead-generation. They are free because the answer is the beginning of a sales conversation, and the arithmetic is often simplified in whichever direction suits that. Unowe sells nothing, is not paid a referral fee by any lender, insurer or fund, and names no product. That removes the reason to round in anyone’s favour, and it shows up in three places where the common shortcuts are simply wrong:
Nothing here has to be taken on trust. Every engine — amortisation, avalanche sequencing, the tax regimes, the break-even, credit-card payoff — is a pure function covered by unit tests, and the numbers on every page come from those same functions rather than from copy written separately. The site ships under a strict Content Security Policy with no third-party scripts, which you can confirm in your browser’s network tab: nothing loads from anywhere but this domain, and no request carries your figures anywhere at all.
If you would rather see it working than read about it, the demo loads a sample household with no signup, and Unowe Academy walks through the whole tool in four short parts with a full transcript on the page.
The planner is free and stays free, and so is the JSON backup that holds every figure — your own data is never behind the paywall, because nothing is stored on a server and charging for the way out would be holding it hostage. A one-time ₹199 unlocks the formatted PDF report. There is no subscription, no upsell and no advertising — which is also why there is no incentive here to steer you toward any particular product.
