50/30/20 Spending Plan

Split your take-home into needs, wants, and savings.

How this works

We split your monthly take-home into three buckets by the percentages you choose, 50% needs, 30% wants, 20% savings by default. Savings is simply whatever's left after needs and wants, so it never goes negative. Use the take-home tools first if you're not sure of your monthly net.

The 50/30/20 split is a popular starting guideline, not a rule, adjust it to fit your life.
