Why should I use a budget calculator?

A budget calculator helps you allocate income across needs, wants, and savings. Seeing where your money goes makes it easier to cut unnecessary spending, build an emergency fund, and work toward financial goals.

How much should I save from my income?

Many advisors suggest saving at least 20% of take-home pay. If you have high-interest debt, allocate part of that 20% to extra debt repayment. Use our savings calculator to see how much you need to save each month for specific goals.

What counts as needs vs wants?

Needs are essential expenses: housing, utilities, groceries, insurance, healthcare, minimum debt payments. Wants are discretionary: dining out, entertainment, subscriptions, hobbies. If you can delay or reduce it without harm, it is often a want.

Guía completa de Budget Calculator

Why use a budget calculator?

A budget calculator helps you allocate your income across needs, wants, and savings. By seeing where your money goes, you can cut unnecessary spending, build an emergency fund, and work toward financial goals. Many people use rules like 50/30/20 as a starting point and then adjust to their situation.

The 50/30/20 rule

Under this rule, 50% of after-tax income goes to needs (rent, utilities, groceries, insurance, minimum debt payments), 30% to wants (dining, entertainment, hobbies), and 20% to savings and extra debt repayment. You can adapt these percentages to your income and goals.
