FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 50/30/20 budget rule?+

The 50/30/20 rule is a popular budgeting guideline: allocate 50% of your take-home pay to Needs (housing, utilities, groceries), 30% to Wants (dining, shopping, entertainment), and 20% to Savings and debt repayment.

How do you handle irregular monthly expenses?+

For annual or irregular expenses (like car registration or holidays), divide the total annual cost by 12 and set aside that amount monthly as a fixed expense in your budget planner.

What is the difference between net income and gross income?+

Gross income is your total earnings before taxes and deductions. Net income (take-home pay) is what is actually deposited in your bank account, which is the baseline number you should use for budgeting.

Why should I track my savings rate?+

Your savings rate represents the speed at which you are accumulating wealth. Tracking it monthly helps you monitor financial progress and forecast goals like retirement or emergency funds.
