What is the Budget Planner?
A budget planner allocates expected income across categories before the month starts, then compares what you actually spent. The variance is the useful output: it shows which categories were unrealistic rather than which ones you overspent through carelessness.
Frequently asked questions
What budgeting split should I start with?
The 50/30/20 guideline — half to needs, 30% to wants, 20% to saving and debt — is a reasonable starting frame. Treat it as a reference point rather than a rule, since rent-to-income ratios vary enormously by city.
