Our Purpose

Freedom is margin.

Ledger Life exists because no tool looks at the whole picture. Financial advisors see your portfolio. Doctors see your vitals. Nobody sees the interaction between your health, your earning power, your relationships, and your obligations — all at once, in a single framework.

We built Life Capital to be descriptive, not prescriptive. It measures your margin — the room you have. It does not tell you what to value, moralize about your choices, or try to sell you anything. Your data stays on your device. The math is open. The uncertainty is honest.

Privacy by architecture
All computation runs on your device. Nothing is transmitted without your explicit consent.
Honest uncertainty
Every number shows confidence bands. Wide bands are honest, not alarming.
Descriptive, not prescriptive
We surface tradeoffs. We never tell you what to value or what to do.
Calm over urgency
No dark patterns. No manufactured anxiety. Informative, never alarming.

Life Capital combines financial assets, earning capacity, health, relationships, and behavioral efficiency on the asset side — and healthcare, long-term care, debt, taxes, and dependents on the liability side. The result: your margin, in dollars and time.

Six Dimensions

The full balance sheet.

→ Capital (+)

Financial Buffer

Liquid assets, investments, and reserves. How long can you sustain your current life without income?

→ Capital (+)

Earning Capacity

Present value of future earnings — adjusted for industry, tenure, skill trajectory, and optionality.

Methodology

How Life Capital works.

Your Life Capital starts with a simple formula. Each component is estimated from peer-reviewed research, then combined:

LC = [F × βfin + H × βcar + RE + S] × (θ × βhlth) − O
In plain English: your assets, weighted by health and behavior, minus your obligations.
FFinancial Buffer

Your savings, investments, retirement accounts, and future savings — adjusted for taxes and liquidity. A dollar in cash is worth more than a dollar locked in a 401k.

Federal Reserve SCF; IRS tax brackets
HEarning Capacity

The present value of your future income. It accounts for how long you'll work, how fast your income grows, and the probability that you'll be alive and healthy enough to earn it.

BLS CPS; Abraham & Mallatt (2022); Gompertz survival model
θHealth Multiplier

A 0-to-1 score based on your lifestyle (exercise, smoking, diet), chronic conditions, and social determinants. It multiplies everything else — poor health reduces your entire balance sheet.

Lo et al. (2018) N=14,598; SSA 2024 life tables
SRelationship Resilience

Strong relationships increase earnings, reduce volatility, and extend lifespan. We measure close bonds, professional networks, and community involvement across 6 channels.

Holt-Lunstad (2010) N=309K; Armona (2025) N=8M
βDecision Quality

How efficiently you convert capital into outcomes. Based on your Big Five personality traits. High conscientiousness + low neuroticism = better financial and health decisions.

Willroth et al. (2025) N=32,348; Kang (2023) N=12,007
OCommitted Outflows

Everything your life costs: healthcare, long-term care, taxes, debt payments, and dependents. All calculated as present values using standard actuarial methods.
