About ImmigrantMoney
ImmigrantMoney is a free, trilingual financial toolkit built for immigrants navigating life in the United States — work, banking, taxes, immigration filings, remittances, and rent. Every tool is designed to give a clear answer in under three minutes, in English, Spanish, or Simplified Chinese, with the source links you'd want before making a real decision.
Why this exists
Immigrant households in the U.S. face financial decisions that mainstream tools rarely model: wage rules that depend on your state and tipped status, banking that accepts a passport or matrícula instead of an SSN, USCIS fee waivers, ITIN filings, remittance corridors with hidden markups, and credit-building from zero. The same questions come up over and over in workers' centers, legal aid clinics, and online forums. We built ImmigrantMoney so the math behind those questions is one click away — for free, in plain language, in your own language, without an account.
How the tools work
Every calculator runs entirely in your browser. We never send your inputs to a server, and we don't use them for analytics. Each tool ships with cited sources (U.S. Department of Labor, IRS, USCIS, CFPB, World Bank Remittance Prices, and state labor boards), a methodology note explaining the assumptions, and a "last reviewed" date. Numbers come from static datasets we update on a published schedule — not live scraping — so what you see in the tool matches what we've actually verified.
Privacy & data
Tool inputs stay in your browser. We never log them, never sell them, and never share them with employers, landlords, or government agencies. The only personal data we store is the email address you optionally submit for the roadmap waitlist, along with your locale and which tool you used to sign up. You can read the full disclosure on our privacy page.
Updates & corrections
Rules change. Fees change. Provider lists change. We review each tool on a quarterly cadence at minimum and re-publish with a fresh "last reviewed" date. If you spot something out of date or wrong, please email us — corrections from readers are how we keep the tools honest.
