Our Mission

We're surrounded by financial noise that leads us astray. Social media influencers flaunting unrealistic lifestyles. Well-meaning family members with outdated advice about "how easy we have it these days." Politicians making empty promises about financial dreams to come. Discovering you're the lowest-paid person at work. These experiences create financial anxiety and unrealistic expectations that keep us from true financial clarity.

That's why we built Bench Fi - to cut through the noise with realistic benchmarking financial tools. We get it, comparison can be the thief of joy. We're not here to make you feel bad about your situation or fuel unhealthy comparisons. Instead, we want to give you the financial relief that comes from understanding exactly where you stand and what realistic progress looks like for someone in your situation.

Fighting Financial Ignorance

We're on a mission to combat the financial misinformation that surrounds us every day. Here's how we're different:

Numbers, Not Feelings

We use hard data (BLS, Census, Federal Reserve) to show you realistic benchmarks, not made-up statistics or cherry-picked examples from social media.

Context Maters

We help you understand your situation within proper context - your age, location, and circumstances - filters give you the control to make more sense of your comparisons.

Building Collective Financial Understanding

We believe that when all Americans have a better understanding of their true financial situation, we get closer to helping each other solve our collective financial problems. Financial literacy is a foundation for a healthier economic society.

Our vision is a country where people make financial decisions based on reality, not fear or fantasy. Where you understand your progress in the context of actual data, not Instagram highlights or political promises. Where financial conversations are grounded in truth, helping families and communities build real, sustainable wealth.

Every time someone uses our tools to understand their real financial standing, they're not just helping themselves - they're contributing to a more financially literate America. Because when we all understand where we truly stand, we can work together toward solutions that actually work.

We believe the key to financial success is understanding where you truly stand in the world with your finances.
