Put together a budget. It’s time to take control of your finances. Understanding your day-to-day expenses is key to creating a budget, and having a budget that you can stick to is key to staying on track with your savings goals. Our budget planner calculator can help you get started.
How to use our budget planner calculator
First, tell us about your income and expenses, and let us know how often the payments are made or received. Your income can include your salary, bonuses, benefits, and income from investments, while your expenses will be your general living costs, payments to any existing debts, costs to run your car, and anything else you regularly pay for. Once we have all that from you, our budget planner calculator will give you an easy-to-understand analysis of where your money is going and how much you may have left over to save.
Your budget planning questions answered
The 50/30/20 budgeting rule is a way to budget your money. Your income is split into three areas to help you know what you can spend and save.
With this guide you allocate:
- 50% of your income to 'needs'. Needs can be your rent or home loan repayments, transportation, your weekly grocery shop, debt repayments, insurances, education and utility bills.
- 30% of your income to 'wants'. Wants can be your daily takeout coffee, eating out, shopping, entertainment, hobbies and holidays.
- 20% of your income to savings. Savings can be an emergency fund, a savings goal, additional debt repayments and investments (which can include superannuation).
