Why this independent project exists and what your support helps cover.
I started ArthaPilot because I wanted portfolio research that kept taxes, account types, withdrawals, and rebalancing assumptions in view instead of hiding them behind a single return chart.
The first version was a personal research tool for tax-aware backtesting. Friends and family began asking to use it, which turned a local project into a web product. The goal stayed the same: make the mechanics visible enough that a user can inspect the assumptions, rerun the result, and understand what changed.
ArthaPilot is a modeling and education tool, not a trading platform. It does not provide investment, tax, or legal advice. It helps users compare scenarios under explicit assumptions, including lot-level tax accounting, account-aware simulations, retirement cash flows, and documented rebalancing rules.
I have been building software for more than 13 years. This is a serious independent project, built because existing portfolio tools are useful but often make it too hard to see how taxes, accounts, and timing assumptions affect the answer.
Running ArthaPilot requires real resources: cloud infrastructure costs, simulation compute, market-data subscriptions, testing, and the ongoing time required to maintain the system carefully. I want users to know what subscriptions support.
All revenue goes toward covering operational expenses and sustaining development. If ArthaPilot is useful to you, your support helps keep the project focused on correctness, documentation, and long-term maintenance.
You can reach me at . I read feedback about unclear assumptions, missing documentation, modeling gaps, and workflows that should be easier to reason about.
