Simple calculators to try out the numbers.
Four small tools that show how budgeting, saving and paying down a balance work. Everything is calculated in your browser.
These are general education tools. They show how the arithmetic works with the numbers you type; they do not review your situation and are not financial advice or a recommendation.
50/30/20 budget split
See how a monthly income divides under the common 50/30/20 rule of thumb: about half to needs, 30% to wants and 20% to savings. It is one popular example, not a rule for anyone.
Savings goal timeline
Estimate how many months it takes to reach a savings goal at a steady monthly amount, ignoring interest.
Debt payoff illustration
Walk through a fixed monthly payment against one balance, month by month, to see how long it takes and how much interest builds up.
Emergency fund target
Multiply monthly essential costs by a number of months. Three to six months is a commonly discussed range; the right amount differs for every household.
