Mintage
Changes currency, tax terms and demo data
Try it with sample data

Your personal money and your sole-trader books, finally in one place.

A Moneysoft Money Manager alternative that runs anywhere: MTD VAT filing, ISA and SIPP tracking, and Section 104 pools that show your CGT before you sell.

  • No card needed
  • Cancel anytime
  • Export everything
  • AU, US and UK tax aware

Safe to spend and the 60-second check-in

  1. Open Mintage and see what is safe to spend today, after bills and goals.
  2. Start the daily check-in: new transactions arrive pre-categorised.
  3. Confirm each one with a tap. It takes about a minute.
  4. Your streak grows. Prefer no streaks? Calm mode turns them off.

Sample data for fictional people. Numbers are calculated by the same engine the app uses.

Made for United Kingdom

  • Moneysoft Money Manager alternative

    Cash book, reconciliation, standing orders, budget versus actual and VAT, plus investments and goals, in your browser on Mac, Windows or Linux.

  • HMRC MTD VAT software for sole traders

    Standard or flat-rate VAT, stagger-aware periods, box-by-box drill down and direct filing to HMRC under Making Tax Digital.

  • Section 104 pooling

    Same-day and 30-day matching, then the pool at average cost, with your gain set against the annual exempt amount.

  • ISA tracker

    Stocks and Shares ISA, SIPP and general account side by side, so you can see what is sheltered and what is exposed to CGT.

Built with input from three usability studies

No customer reviews yet, so here is what independent testers said while using the real app with sample data in October 2026.

“The parcel-level CGT engine is the best I've seen outside Sharesight.”

“The numbers reconcile and the labels are the fund's.”

“[The] banking core is better than Money Manager 7: reconciliation, scheduled entries and undoable imports.”

How it works

  1. Look around with sample data

    Open a full workspace for a fictional family in the United Kingdom. Click anything; nothing is saved until you sign up.

  2. Bring in your own files

    Drop exports from your bank and broker. Mintage detects the format, skips duplicates and builds your holdings parcel by parcel.

  3. Check in for a minute a day

    Confirm new transactions, see what is safe to spend, and get a heads-up before you sell anything that would cost more tax than it needs to.

Everything that touches your money, in one place

Budget and safe to spend

Category, envelope or 50/30/20 budgets with live pacing. Mintage counts upcoming bills, scheduled income and goal transfers, then tells you one number: what is safe to spend until payday.

  • Natural-language quick add: “coffee 4.50 yesterday”
  • Rules that learn from your corrections
  • 3 to 24-month cash-flow forecast with what-if scenarios

Goals that stick

Each goal carries a plan in your own words (“when I get paid, $200 moves to Holiday”). A 60-second daily check-in, a Sunday weekly review and milestone celebrations keep it going.

  • Streaks with freeze tokens, never punishment
  • Calm mode turns every nudge off
  • Debt snowball and avalanche with payoff dates

Investments: sell the right shares

Every buy is tracked as its own parcel. Before you sell, the what-if compares first-in-first-out, newest-first, highest-cost and lowest-tax choices side by side, applying Section 104 pooling and the £3,000 exempt amount.

  • Eight selection strategies, or pick parcels by hand
  • Days until each parcel becomes eligible for a lower rate
  • Tax-loss harvesting candidates before year end

Corporate actions and benchmarks

Splits, consolidations, DRPs, returns of capital, demergers, takeovers and AMIT adjustments (17 types) update your cost base from an event log. Compare performance against any ETF with your exact deposits replayed into it.

  • Time-weighted and money-weighted (XIRR) returns
  • Income with franking credits and foreign tax
  • Allocation and concentration checks

Every entity in one login

Keep the personal, sole trader, partnership and company books separate, then see them together. Each entity has its own tax rules, financial year and currency, with roles for your partner, co-trustee or accountant.

  • SMSF: member balances, contribution caps, pension minimums
  • Consolidated net worth across entities and currencies
  • Read-only accountant access

Small business, without a second app

Invoices with VAT (standard or flat rate) and Making Tax Digital VAT filing to HMRC.

  • Branded invoice PDFs with numbering and email drafts
  • Ageing, statements and profit and loss
  • GST/BAS (AU) and VAT returns incl. flat rate (UK), with HMRC Making Tax Digital filing

Imports from your bank and broker

34 ready-made import presets for banks, brokers, prices and corporate actions, including Wise, Monzo, Starling and Revolut. Files from Hargreaves Lansdown or Trading 212 go through a mapping wizard that remembers the layout next time.

  • CSV, OFX/QFX, QIF and CAMT.053
  • Duplicate detection and one-click undo of a whole import
  • Australian bank feeds through Basiq (Open Banking) rolling out on paid plans

How Mintage compares

Most people use two or three of these together. Mintage aims to replace the budgeting app and the portfolio tracker at once. As published Oct 2026, check each vendor's site; “Not listed” means we could not find it on their public pages.

Questions people ask

Do I need to sign up to try it?
No. “Try it with sample data” opens a complete workspace for a fictional household in your country. Sign up only if you want to keep going with your own numbers.
Is this tax advice?
No. Mintage calculates capital gains, franking, VAT and GST from the rules and the records you give it, and shows its working. It is general information; check your situation with a registered tax agent or adviser.
Which countries does it understand?
Australia (CGT discount, SMSF one-third discount, franking, GST/BAS), the United States (short and long-term gains, $3,000 loss limit, wash-sale warnings) and the United Kingdom (Section 104 pooling, same-day and 30-day rules, annual exempt amount, VAT and MTD).
Can I import from my broker?
Yes. There are presets for nabtrade, CommSec, IRESS, FP Markets, Selfwealth, Stake, Pearler, CMC, Interactive Brokers and Sharesight exports. For others (Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, Hargreaves Lansdown, Trading 212 and more) the mapping wizard reads the CSV and saves the layout for next time.
What happens when the free trial ends?
You move to the Free plan. Nothing is deleted and you are never locked out; anything above the Free limits becomes read-only until you upgrade.
Can I get my data out?
Always. Full backup, CSV/Excel/PDF reports and an accountant pack are a click away on every plan (CSV on Free and Plus).
