Dollar cost calculator for investors questioning fees

Investors intuitively know fees hurt, but percentages like '1% AUM' or '0.75% expense ratio' feel trivial and hide a six-figure compounding cost over a 30-year horizon, so most can't quantify what their fees actually cost them in real dollars or decide whether an advisor is worth it.

Week-by-week household money map for new widowers

After a spouse dies, the surviving partner inherits bills, autopays, and logins she managed for years; the first mistake looks small - an unopened envelope, an unrecognized charge - then fees and cancellation notices turn grief into paperwork panic.

Launch angles

Use specificity as the wedge: one buyer, one workflow, one measurable result.
Show proof earlier than broad competitors with before-and-after examples and small pilot data.
Keep implementation lighter than incumbent suites or generic AI assistants.

Risks to validate

Commoditization: dozens of free expense-ratio and fee-drag calculators already exist (Schwab, FINRA, CalcBE), so differentiation must come from UX, portfolio import, and shareability rather than the core math.
Trust and compliance: presenting fee comparisons that nudge users to fire advisors or switch products can edge into regulated investment advice; outputs must stay educational and avoid specific buy/sell recommendations.
Monetization tension: the most natural revenue is advisor/broker referrals, which conflicts with the tool's 'fees are bad' premise and can erode the credibility that drives traffic.
Thin SEO moat: 'expense ratio calculator' is a saturated keyword owned by large finance brands, making organic acquisition slow and costly.
Emotionally hard sales moment; distribution likely through estate attorneys and funeral homes rather than ads.
Handling logins and financial documents demands bank-grade security posture from day one.
