How this page works it out
A sample take-home of 5200 splits into needs 50 at 2600, wants 30 at 1560, and savings 20 at 1040. A week divides by 4.33 into 600, 360, and 240. The amount is an example, not an average wage. Split take-home pay into needs 50, wants 30, and savings 20.
Needs, wants, and savings are each a percent of take-home pay. The weekly line divides that bucket by 4.33, which is 433 divided by 100, and rounds half up.
Change 50, 30, and 20 when you want another split. A sum other than 100 still calculates each share and only adds a warning. The numbers stay in this browser.
