The calculator then creates a visual breakdown of your income and expenses using a pie chart.

Worked Example

Let's say you have a monthly income of $5,000 and the following expenses:

• Housing: $1,500
• Transportation: $300
• Food: $600
• Utilities: $200
• Entertainment: $200
• Other: $300

Using the calculator:

1. Total Expenses = $1,500 + $300 + $600 + $200 + $200 + $300 = $2,800
2. Savings = $5,000 - $2,800 = $2,200
3. Savings Percentage = ($2,200 / $5,000) × 100 = 44%

The calculator will show you that you spend 56% of your income on expenses and save 44%.
