What is the 70/20/10 rule?

The 70/20/10 rule is a simple budgeting framework that splits your take-home income into three buckets: 70% for everyday living expenses, 20% for savings and investing, and 10% for debt repayment or charitable giving.

How it works

The calculator simply multiplies your monthly take-home income by each percentage to show the dollar amount you’d allocate to each bucket under this rule.

This tool is for general budgeting education and planning. The 70/20/10 split is a guideline, not a strict requirement — adjust the percentages to fit your own financial situation and goals.
