What is the 60/10/30 rule?
The 60/10/30 budget splits every paycheck by percentage.
It divides your after-tax income into three categories:
- 60% for needs: Stays in checking for bills.
- 10% for savings: Investments, emergency fund, goals.
- 30% for wants: Fun money.
It's a starting point. Adjust the percentages to fit your situation. The important thing is having a payday routine.
Frequently asked questions
What if my income changes month to month?
The 60/10/30 rule works especially well when your pay changes: overtime, shifts, commission, or client work. You just apply the percentages to whatever landed. If you get $3,000 one payday and $7,000 the next, the split adjusts automatically.
Is the 60/10/30 rule right for everyone?
It's a starting point, not a rigid formula. If you live in an expensive city, you might need different percentages. Adjust them to fit your life. The key is having a routine you actually stick to.
Should I use the 60/10/30 rule for gross or net income?
Use your after-tax (net) income: the amount that actually hits your bank account. If you split your gross income, you'll overestimate what you have to work with.
What if I can't hit these percentages?
That's normal, especially if you're in a high cost-of-living area. The percentages are a starting point, not a pass/fail test. Start where you are, and raise your savings once the habit sticks. Even a rough split is better than no routine at all.
