Frequently asked questions

How does the budget planner work?

It totals your income and your expenses, then subtracts expenses from income to show whether you have a surplus to save or a deficit to fix.

What is a good savings rate?

Many planners suggest saving at least 20% of income, following guides like the 50/30/20 rule. The right rate depends on your goals and cost of living.

What should I do about a budget deficit?

A deficit means you spend more than you earn. Cut discretionary expenses, increase income, or both, until expenses fall below your monthly income.
