FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does the household budget calculator show?

It shows total expenses, remaining budget after expenses, remaining budget after savings target, expense ratio, savings ratio and debt payment ratio.

What is a good savings rate?

It depends on income, life situation and goals. More important than a generic percentage is that the contribution remains realistic over time.

Why is the value after savings target important?

The value after expenses only shows what remains before planned savings. The value after savings shows whether the plan still leaves room after reserves and wealth building.

Should I enter debt payments separately?

Yes. Debt payments usually behave like fixed obligations and reduce flexibility more directly than variable spending.

What if the remaining budget is negative?

Large fixed costs, debt payments and variable spending usually explain the gap. A permanently negative result means the budget is not sustainable without adjustments.
