50-30-20 Budget Planner

A simple way to split your take-home pay: needs, wants, and savings.

The 50-30-20 rule is a starting guideline, not a law. Early in your career or on a tight budget, needs may take more; as income grows, aim to push savings well above 20%. Adjust the split to your reality.

Start with the essentials

Before investing, make sure your emergency fund is in place.
