Monthly budget calculator

Start with take-home income, enter the categories that actually apply, and see the remaining buffer without forcing your life into a generic percentage rule.

Your calculator entries stay in this browser tab. Kasyafi does not save them or send the amounts to analytics or advertising systems.

Map one month of income

Start with take-home income, then include the categories that reflect your real obligations. Zero is valid when a category does not apply.

Calculated locally. Amounts are not saved or sent to analytics.

Start with take-home pay

Use the income that reaches you after payroll deductions. Keep likely or variable income separate until it is confirmed.

Real obligations come before a framework

Housing, utilities, debt minimums, transport, medicine, and education costs do not become wrong because they exceed a suggested percentage. The first goal is an honest allocation.

Use 50/30/20 only as context

The common framework groups money into needs, wants, and savings or debt. It can prompt useful questions, but it is not a universal standard and does not account for your local costs or due-date timing.

A monthly total still needs dates

A balanced month can still run short before payday when several obligations arrive first. After the categories balance, place each bill against the payday that funds it.

Questions people ask next

What if income is zero or irregular?

Use confirmed income for the period you are planning. A zero-income result can still show the size of obligations that need another funding plan.

Should debt payments count as needs or savings?

Labels vary by framework. Kasyafi keeps required debt payments explicit instead of hiding them inside a broad category.

What should I do with a remaining buffer?

Keep it unassigned as breathing room or deliberately allocate part to savings, debt, or flexible spending. Avoid treating every peso as already committed.

Keep the estimate useful after today.

Bring balances, bills, income, and your chosen buffer into one private Kasyafi plan. Your financial workspace stays free of third-party ads.
