How to use this calculator
A simple monthly cash-flow snapshot. Adjust each category to see how the remaining balance changes.
Income first
Use take-home income rather than gross wages so the leftover figure reflects money available after payroll taxes.
Savings is a plan
Planned savings is treated as an outgoing allocation. If you want to calculate capacity before savings, set that field to zero.
It is a starting point
Irregular expenses, annual bills, and emergency costs need separate monthly allocations to avoid understating spending.
