How to use this calculator
- Enter your take-home income and the amount you save (same period).
- Read your savings rate.
How it works
Savings rate = amount saved ÷ take-home income × 100; the rest is your spending rate.
Worked example
$1,000 saved from $5,000. = a 20% savings rate.
Common mistakes
- Using gross (pre-tax) income — savings rate is usually on take-home pay.
- Counting debt repayment inconsistently — decide whether it's saving or spending.
