What this estimate assumes

  • All entries use the same monthly period and the same person or household. Income is after tax; no tax is calculated.
  • Enter each cost once. Include irregular annual expenses as a monthly allowance. Savings transfers are not expenses unless you choose to include them.
  • A negative result is a budget deficit, not zero available cash.
