Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 70/20/10 rule work?

Needs = Monthly Income x 70%, Savings/Debt = Monthly Income x 20%, Lifestyle = Monthly Income x 10%. If you enter annual income, it's converted to a monthly figure first.

How is this different from the 50/30/20 rule?

Both are simple budgeting frameworks, but 70/20/10 allocates more to essential needs (70% vs. 50%) and less to discretionary spending (10% vs. 30%), with the same 20% savings allocation.
