Frequently Asked Questions
The 50/30/20 rule is a popular budgeting method where you allocate 50% of your income to needs (housing, utilities, groceries), 30% to wants (entertainment, dining out), and 20% to savings and debt repayment. Our calculator helps you see how your current spending compares to this guideline.
It's recommended to review your budget at least monthly, especially when you first start budgeting. As you become more comfortable, you might review it quarterly, but always revisit it when your income or expenses change significantly.
If your expenses exceed your income, you'll need to either increase your income (through additional work or side gigs) or reduce your expenses. Our calculator highlights your total expenses compared to income, making it easy to identify this situation.
For the most useful results, try to be as accurate as possible. Review your bank statements and bills from the past few months to get realistic numbers. Even small expenses can add up, so don't overlook them.
Currently, this calculator doesn't save your data automatically. We recommend taking a screenshot or writing down your results. For ongoing budget tracking, consider using spreadsheet software or dedicated budgeting apps.
