How it's worked out

The 50/30/20 rule splits your income into three parts: 50% for what you need (home, bills, food, transport), 30% for what you want (fun, eating out, subscriptions) and 20% for saving or paying off debt.

It isn't a law: if you live somewhere expensive, your needs may go over 50%. What helps is seeing where you are and adjusting bit by bit. Start by setting savings aside as soon as you're paid.

FAQ

Gross or net pay?

Net: what actually lands in your account each month, after tax and contributions.

Where does debt go?

The minimum payment goes in needs; anything extra to clear it sooner counts as savings.

What if I can't reach 20% savings?

Start with what you can, even 5%, and raise it as you trim wants or your income grows.
