About
A mirror, not a lecture
BlackMirror.ie is a personal reality check for people living in Ireland. You enter your own numbers; it puts them next to published Irish benchmarks and tells you where you stand — financially, in your career, in how your lifestyle leaves room, and on the path you are on.
It is meant to be a little uncomfortable. Most people never see their rent as a share of take-home pay, or their pension as an income. But it is not meant to shame anyone. Every result ends with practical escape routes, because a number with no way forward is just noise.
What we hold ourselves to
- Every number says what it is
- Official data, a derived calculation, a BlackMirror model, an example, or your input — tagged wherever it appears.
- The score is a formula, not a black box
- Deterministic and published in full. No AI decides it. Same answers, same score.
- We never see your answers
- The test runs in your browser. No account, no server storage, nothing to sell.
- No invented activity
- No fake user counts, testimonials, mood indices or “trending” numbers. If we cannot source it, we do not show it.
- Provocative, never cruel
- Here are the numbers. You decide what to do.
Who runs it
BlackMirror.ie is built by Conjora Limited, an Irish company that also runs CheckIreland, Selfish, GravyTrain and Goldmine. Where one of those is the natural next step from your result we link to it, and we say so. BlackMirror gives general information, not regulated financial advice; for help with debt, MABS is free and confidential.
