Formula Used

The living expenses calculator uses the following formula to calculate your monthly savings:

Monthly Savings = Monthly Income - Monthly Expenses

This formula is straightforward and provides a clear indication of how much you are saving each month. The calculator also calculates the percentage of your income that goes towards expenses:

Percentage of Income Spent = (Monthly Expenses / Monthly Income) × 100

Worked Example

Let's look at a practical example to illustrate how the living expenses calculator works. Suppose you have a monthly income of $3,000 and monthly expenses of $2,200.

Monthly Savings = $3,000 - $2,200 = $800 Percentage of Income Spent = ($2,200 / $3,000) × 100 = 73.33%

In this example, you would have a monthly savings of $800, and you would be spending 73.33% of your income on expenses. This information can help you identify areas where you might be overspending and make adjustments to improve your financial situation.

Common Bank Comparison

Common Bank provides financial estimates and recommendations for living expenses. Comparing your results with Common Bank's estimates can help you understand whether you are living within a reasonable budget.

Transportation	$200	$250

In this example, your total living expenses are $2,100, which is $250 less than Common Bank's estimate of $2,350. This comparison can help you identify areas where you might be saving more than expected or where you might need to adjust your spending to meet Common Bank's recommendations.
