1. Monthly Take-Home Income
Enter net take-home receipts from all family members and earning sources.
4. Planned Savings & Investments

Fixed and essential obligations required for day-to-day household stability.
3. Discretionary Spending (Wants)
Lifestyle, leisure, and flexible lifestyle expenditures.
Monthly Overview
Every rupee of income is accounted for.
Frequently asked questions
How does the planner handle annual or quarterly expenses like school fees and insurance?
When you select 'Annual' or 'Quarterly' frequency for an expense, the tool automatically calculates the monthly equivalent (annual divided by 12, quarterly divided by 3) so you can set aside a steady amount every month.
What is the difference between essential and discretionary expenses?
Essential expenses are non-negotiable living needs such as rent, groceries, utility bills, school fees, EMIs, and insurance. Discretionary expenses are lifestyle choices such as dining out, streaming subscriptions, shopping, and travel.
Why is planned savings kept separate from expenses?
Savings represent wealth accumulation and investments, not money consumed. Keeping them distinct helps you see your true living costs and ensure you pay yourself first before spending the remainder.
What does an unallocated shortfall mean?
A shortfall indicates that your monthly living costs plus planned savings exceed your total take-home income. You can adjust discretionary expenses or review savings targets to bring the budget into balance.
