💰 How to Manage Your Salary and Loan EMI Smartly (With Free Budget Calculator)

Are you earning a salary every month but still feel broke by the 15th? 😓 You’re not alone! Many of us don’t plan our expenses, savings, and EMIs properly. That’s why we created a simple and free salary budget calculator just for you.

📊 What is the 50-30-20 Rule?

This is one of the easiest budgeting rules. Just divide your monthly income into three parts:

50% for Needs – Rent, groceries, bills, transport, and loan EMI
30% for Wants – Dining out, shopping, Netflix, etc.
20% for Savings – Emergency fund, insurance, investments

🧮 What If I Have a Loan EMI?

If you’re paying a loan every month (like for a car, personal loan, or mobile EMI), that amount should come from your Needs portion. Our calculator automatically adjusts it and gives you the right plan.
