Frequently Asked Questions

How does the budget planner help me?

It compares your monthly income against your expenses to show how much you are saving or overspending, helping you see where your money goes and where you can cut back.

What is the 50/30/20 budget rule?

A popular guideline suggests spending about 50% of income on needs, 30% on wants, and 20% on savings or debt repayment. The planner helps you check how your spending compares.

Should I include irregular expenses in my budget?

Yes. Set aside a monthly amount for irregular costs like annual insurance or festivals by dividing the yearly total by twelve, so they do not surprise your budget later.
