Retirement budget: live on 90%, save 10%

I built this so you can see where your money goes each month. Start with your take-home pay, add up what you spend, and see how close you are to saving 10%.

$a month

Budget from your net income, never your gross. Net is what actually lands in your bank account.

The numbers above are only an example. Type your own. For bills that come once a year, divide by 12.

You save each month $0 -- of your take-home pay
$0total spending a month
$010% of your take-home pay
$090% to live on

What's left after spending is counted as savings. 10% is the floor, not the goal. If you can save more, save more.
