How this calculator helps
Start with actual take-home pay, then enter essential bills and regular spending. The result can highlight categories worth reviewing without collecting financial account data.
Before you decide
Include irregular costs such as annual insurance, school expenses, repairs and holidays by setting aside a monthly allowance for them.
A practical example
A budget is a plan rather than a prediction. The calculator adds the costs you enter and subtracts the total from your monthly income.
