01 — Problem

The calculator asked the wrong question.

The 2022 version made people enter an interest rate — the one number they came to find out. Comparing banks meant opening five tabs and a spreadsheet.

The redesign starts from what a person actually knows: how much they need and for how long.

02 — Approach

Ask less, compare more.

Three decisions shaped everything else.

  1. 01

    Two inputs, not seven

    Amount and term. Everything else is pulled or assumed, and can be refined later.

  2. 02

    Total cost first

    Offers are ranked by what you pay back in total, not by the headline rate.

  3. 03

    One system, three screens

    Tokens and components shared across iPhone, iPad and web.

03 — Design system

A system, not a set of screens.

Colour, type and spacing live as variables with light and dark modes, so a rebrand is a token change rather than a redraw.

04 — Outcome

Where it stands.

Design is complete across three platforms and the domain is live with a coming-soon page. Next: an informational comparison site built on the same system.
