Set up your account

Signing up takes a couple of minutes; filling in your full financial picture happens at your own pace. Create your account from a US location, verify your email, then work through the Setup Guide checklist on your dashboard — birthday, income, bills, assets, debts, and, if you want, your spouse.

Before you start

• PiggySize signup is open to people signing up from the United States only.
• No credit card needed. Every new account starts on a free 30-day trial of Pro, then settles onto the free plan automatically if you don't subscribe.
• Have your spouse's email handy if you plan to invite them.

Steps

1. Go to the sign-up page and fill in Name (optional), Email, and Password (7–72 characters) — or continue with Google or GitHub.
2. Check the box to accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, then select Create Account.
3. Check your email and click the verification link to activate your account.
4. Log in. Your dashboard shows a Setup Guide bar with a running percentage and a list of tasks.
5. Select Add Your Birthday and enter it in Settings — this personalizes parts of the app.
6. Select Add Your Income and enter each source (salary, freelance work, benefits, and more) on the Income page.
7. Select Add Your Bills and enter your recurring bills (rent, utilities, subscriptions, and more) on the Bills page.
8. Select Add Your Assets and Add Your Debts to log what you own and what you owe.
9. Optional: select Add Family Members on the Setup Guide (or open Settings (opens in a new tab) → the Family tab directly). Select Add Family Member, choose Spouse as the relationship, then select Send Invite.

How it works

• The Setup Guide score adds up to 100%: birthday (10%), family members (10%), income (30%), bills (20%), assets (15%), and debts (15%).
• Every task has a skip link if it doesn't apply to you — skipping marks it done without adding data.
• The checklist stays on your dashboard until every task is complete or skipped, and can be dismissed once it reaches 100%.
• One PiggySize account covers your whole family under a single subscription. Adding family members doesn't cost extra.

Good to know

• You don't have to follow the checklist in order — jump to whichever task matches what you have ready.
• Any family member you add can be edited, re-invited, or removed later from Settings — nothing here is permanent.
• Under-13 family members can't receive an email invite, but you can still add them to track their finances; they just won't have their own login.
• If you're accepting an invitation instead of starting fresh, you'll join your inviter's family instead of starting a new one.
