How to Use the Budget Calculator

Enter your monthly income first. Then enter the amounts you expect to spend on housing, utilities, groceries, transportation, debt payments, and other expenses.

Enter the amount you plan to save each month and choose the currency symbol you want displayed. Select Calculate Budget to see your estimated expenses, savings, remaining money, and budget ratios.

How Your Budget Is Calculated

The calculator adds your housing, utilities, groceries, transportation, debt payments, and other expenses to determine your total monthly expenses.

Total Expenses = Housing + Utilities + Groceries + Transportation + Debt Payments + Other Expenses
Total Outflow = Total Expenses + Savings
Money Remaining = Monthly Income − Total Outflow
Savings Rate = (Savings ÷ Monthly Income) × 100
Expense-to-Income Ratio = (Total Expenses ÷ Monthly Income) × 100

Budget Example

Imagine a monthly income of $3,000. You plan to spend $900 on housing, $250 on utilities, $400 on groceries, $300 on transportation, $250 on debt payments, and $200 on other expenses.

Your total expenses would be $2,300. If you also plan to save $300, your total monthly outflow would be $2,600, leaving $400 remaining from your $3,000 income.
