The 50/30/20 rule is a popular budgeting technique:
- 50% Needs: Half of your income should go to essentials (Rent, Food, Utilities).
- 30% Wants: Use 30% for lifestyle choices (Dining out, Entertainment, Shopping).
- 20% Savings: At least 20% should be saved or invested for future goals and debt repayment.
This calculator helps you see how close your spending habits are to this ideal balance.
