The budget calculator plans monthly net income, expenses, and savings goals directly in your browser — in a quick view with three totals or a detailed breakdown with up to 100 line items. Each item can have its own payment frequency (weekly, monthly, annual, or custom), automatically normalized to a monthly equivalent.
Typical searches include calculate budget, household budget, and calculate savings rate. Calculation runs locally in the browser. Optionally, your own distribution can be compared against the 50/30/20 rule or a custom target rule that must add up to exactly 100% — the comparison is only a reference point and doesn't have to fit your situation.
Typical use cases
Compare a budget against the 50/30/20 rule
Enable the comparison to see whether needs, wants, and savings are in the recommended proportion.
Plan irregular expenses monthly
Enter annual or quarterly costs with their real frequency and have them automatically reflected as a monthly equivalent in the budget.
Tips for better results
Use the detailed breakdown for real accuracy
The quick view suits a rough overview; for reliable planning with different frequencies, the detailed breakdown is more accurate.
Your own rule must total exactly 100%
For a custom comparison rule, the target shares for needs, wants, and savings must add up to exactly 100%.
