    How It Works

    A budget calculator helps you create a comprehensive overview of your monthly finances by comparing your total income against all your expenses. This tool categorizes expenses into fixed costs (like rent and utilities) and variable costs (like food and entertainment) to give you better control over your money.

    The calculator uses a traffic light system to assess your financial health: green indicates a healthy surplus for savings, yellow warns of a tight budget with little room for error, and red alerts you to spending more than you earn. This immediate feedback helps you make informed decisions about your spending habits.

    Successful budgeting follows the 50/30/20 rule as a guideline: 50% for needs (fixed expenses), 30% for wants (variable expenses), and 20% for savings and debt repayment. However, your personal situation may require adjustments to these percentages.
