Your 50/30/20 guideline
Illustrative example — edit any amount to see the split update.
Needs 50%
€1,500.00
Essential costs, such as housing, groceries, and utilities.
Wants 30%
€900.00
Flexible spending, such as dining out and entertainment.
Savings 20%
€600.00
Money set aside for goals, a buffer, or debt repayment.
The three targets add up to €3,000.00. We round to whole cents and assign any leftover cents so the total still matches your income. This is an optional planning guideline, not a rule or a record of actual spending. Your needs and savings may call for a different split.
