Your Guide to the 50/30/20 Budget Calculator!

Step 1: Enter Your Income:

• Find the “Total Monthly Income” box and type in your income after taxes (i.e. your disposable monthly income).
• No spreadsheets, no hassle! Enter a number, and we’ll do the rest.

Step 2: Adjust Percentages (Optional):

• See the sliders for Necessities, Wants, and Savings? They start at 50/30/20 – the golden rule!
• Want to customize? Slide them around to fit your needs. We’ll automatically adjust the rest.

Step 3: See Your Budget Breakdown:

Here’s how it works:

• Each slider adjusts by 1 percentage point at a time. That means for a $1,000income, every move changes a category by $10. No confusing calculations needed!
• See the impact instantly! As you adjust one slider, the others update automatically, so you always have a clear picture of your entire budget.
• This granular control allows you to tailor the plan to your unique needs and priorities.

Bonus:

• Reset? Click the button to go back to the default distribution i.e. 50/30/20 starting point.
• Start fresh? Hit clear to wipe everything and begin again.
