Planipedia Wiki of Financial Planning

Google a phrase and you will probably sees reference to Wikipedia on the first page of results. Now, there is a Wikipedia of financial planning, called Panipedia.

Planipedia (www.planipedia.org) is a community-based global financial planning encylopedia and knowledge base that uses the Wikipedia model - information maintained by volunteers - to reach out financial planning communities worldwide.

It was launched by PlanPlus, which provides advice-centric wealth management and financial planning software solutions by over a dozen founding supporters that include authors, memberships associations and profesional planners from over 14 countries. There are currently over 2,000 pages of articles in English, French, Spanish and Chinesse.

Users are free to view, edit and translate content. The aim is to bring together the world's best minds in financial planning, provide an open venue for communication and provide users with up-to-date information focusing on clients' best interests.

Planipedia is non-for-profit and relies on the contributions of professional financial planners, academics and others who are willing to share knowledge that will help planners or consumers who are interested in financial planning. The long-term success of Planipedia depends on new contributors.

You also can access the PlanPlus Planit Community Edition, a free level of the PlanPlus financial planning software by PlanPlus. The Community Edition aims to give planners some basic planning capabilities and includes exercises and case studies.

Registration is simpleas only basic information is needed. There are many calculators like retirement goal, critical illness, rate of return but do note they are quite technical and aren't for the layperson. They aren't intuitive, so you will probably need to head over to the help section until you familiarise yourself with them.
