Portfolios by purchase model (3, 4 or 8 %), monthly rebates paid in fiat or crypto, live portfolio value and forecasts in seconds – on your phone, on your desktop, in the browser. GoldenRatio replaces the spreadsheet, for you and for advisors juggling dozens of portfolios.
Jürgen looks after clients with gold portfolios. For Monika, a long-standing older client, he built a spreadsheet that made her portfolio – purchase models and monthly rebates included – finally understandable. It worked so well that he passed it on through his network – and that network kept growing.
The catch: spreadsheets do not scale. You had to know your way around and sit at a PC to maintain a portfolio. In May 2025 the decision was made – over a bratwurst: this belongs in an app.
Almost a year later, GoldenRatio calculates portfolios, rebates and forecasts automatically – in the cloud, on every device, for the whole network.
“The spreadsheet worked – but you had to sit at a PC and know what you were doing. Today I tap it in on my phone and the forecast is there in seconds.”

The beginning
A spreadsheet for Monika
Jürgen builds a sheet that makes purchase models and rebates understandable for one client.
Then
The network adopts it
The spreadsheet makes the rounds and grows ever more powerful – but PC-only, and only for those in the know.
May 2025
The spreadsheet becomes an app
GoldenRatio is founded – decided over a bratwurst.
Today
In production since 2025
Cloud sync across phone, desktop and browser. Web app, Android and iOS are live.
The difference
What that spreadsheet really costs you
The spreadsheet could do a lot – but it needed know-how, time and a PC.
With Excel
PC only – no chance while you are out.
You had to know your way around the sheet.
Rebates per purchase model entered by hand.
A forecast? First build the formulas, then hope.
With GoldenRatio
Cloud sync: phone, desktop and browser, always current.
Enter data instead of maintaining formulas – no know-how needed.
Rebates per purchase model (3, 4, 8 %) calculated automatically.
Forecast engine: scenarios across 1–9 years in seconds.
Features
Your portfolio does the maths
GoldenRatio models portfolios the way they actually work: by purchase model, with monthly rebates – and a forecast that thinks along.
Portfolio tracking with purchase models
Every purchase with its model – 3, 4 or 8 % – and the monthly rebates, paid in fiat or crypto, flow into the portfolio automatically. Plus contracts, price difference and realised gains. Physical gold is tracked right alongside.
Forecast engine
Wealth projection across up to nine years – with your own assumptions on gold price, savings rate and reinvestment. Compare scenarios such as standard, top-up or reinvestment in seconds.
Budget book
Income and expenses by category and account, recurring items such as rent or subscriptions carried forward automatically, Excel import and tax-ready reports included.
Network & commissions
For advisors and sales partners: map your referral network with status, commission rate and reinvestment quota – and see per period which commissions were actually realised.
Forecast engine
Project your next nine years
The one thing the spreadsheet could never do: a forecast without building the formulas first. You set the assumptions, GoldenRatio projects portfolio, rebates and reinvestment across up to nine years – and puts the result next to what plain gold would have done.
Your assumptions, not oursGold price development, monthly savings rate and reinvestment quota are all yours to set.
Purchase models includedRebates per model (3, 4 or 8 %) flow into the projection automatically – payouts included.
Against the gold baselineEvery forecast shows, right beside it, what plain gold would have done over the same period.
An answer in secondsChange the scenario, recalculate, compare – instead of rebuilding a spreadsheet and hoping.
Forecasts are model calculations based on your assumptions – not a guarantee of returns.

Frequently asked
Any questions?
What is GoldenRatio?
A finance app that combines portfolio tracking by purchase model with monthly rebates, a budget book, a forecast engine and commission management. You see portfolio value, rebates and performance at a glance – on the web, on iOS and on Android.
Does GoldenRatio connect to my bank account?
No, deliberately not. You enter data manually or via Excel import and keep full control over what is stored. No bank connection also means: no access to your account.
How is GoldenRatio different from YNAB or Finanzguru?
GoldenRatio calculates portfolios by purchase model (e.g. 3, 4 or 8 %) with monthly rebates – paid in fiat or crypto – and projects development across up to nine years. Physical gold is tracked right alongside. Classic budget apps can do neither.
How safe is my data?
All data sits on a server in Frankfurt – GDPR-compliant, with encrypted cloud storage. And because there is no bank connection, the only data stored is what you enter yourself.
Which platforms does the app run on?
Instantly in the browser at app.golden-ratio-united.com (installable as a web app on your home screen), as a native iOS app on the App Store and for Android on Google Play – all data syncs automatically.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes, every plan can be cancelled monthly; access remains until the end of the billing period. We review refunds case by case within 14 days of purchase – just write to contact@golden-ratio-united.com.
