A Special Note from Michael Riley

When I built ZilchWorks back in 1991, I wasn't thinking about copycats, marketing, or gimmicks. I was thinking about people - people buried in debt, people like me, who needed a way out.

Over the years, I've seen dozens of imitators come and go. That's fine. But if anyone is going to give this calculator away for free, it should be me - the original creator.

Here's why I made a free version:

  • Because debt already costs you enough.
  • Because not everyone can afford my full ZilchWorks product, but everyone deserves a chance at a debt-free life.
  • Because I believe in people chasing their dreams. If I could build something that has helped thousands, so can you.

I've walked this road. I know the struggle. That's why I care so deeply about helping you break free. This isn't a gimmick. It's simply the best tool I can give you - for free.

Michael Riley, USMC Gunnery Sergeant (Ret.) & Founder of ZilchWorks

We Believe

Life is better without debt.

Rock bottom is only temporary.

Every day is an Etch-a-Sketch.

Courage begins with a single choice.

A rut is simply a grave with the ends kicked out.

Nobody is perfect. Everyone deserves a second chance.

We give back your money when we can't make it right.

We ask for forgiveness when we screw up.

We may never pass this way again.

Each of us has a pilot light.

Anyone can get out of debt. Even you.
