Budget Calculation Formulas

Total Expenses = Fixed Expenses + Variable Expenses

Budget Balance = Income - Total Expenses - Savings Goal

Savings Rate = (Savings Goal / Income) × 100

Expense Ratio = (Total Expenses / Income) × 100

Example Budget Analysis

For a monthly income of ₹50,000 with ₹25,000 fixed expenses, ₹15,000 variable expenses, and ₹10,000 savings goal:

  • Total Expenses = ₹40,000
  • Budget Balance = ₹50,000 - ₹40,000 - ₹10,000 = ₹0 (Balanced)
  • Savings Rate = (₹10,000 / ₹50,000) × 100 = 20%
  • Expense Ratio = (₹40,000 / ₹50,000) × 100 = 80%

Recommended Budget Guidelines

50/30/20 Rule
  • 50% for needs (fixed expenses)
  • 30% for wants (variable expenses)
  • 20% for savings and debt repayment
Indian Context
