When to use this workflow

  • You want a first-pass monthly budget from take-home pay.
  • You are deciding how much extra to put toward debt each month.
  • You need a target emergency fund size and timeline.
  • You want a rough retirement projection before talking to an advisor.

Tips

  • Use recent pay stubs and bank statements—not rounded guesses—for income and spending.
  • Pay high-APR credit card debt before aggressive investing unless you have employer 401(k) match.
  • Emergency fund targets often start at one month of expenses and grow toward three to six months.
