What you're asking

You ask for a monthly budget from your numbers. You get a table, totals, and a few ideas to save.

Give it

  • Take-home pay
  • Each regular cost
  • Your savings goal
  • Irregular costs (gifts, car repairs)

Check: Double-check the totals; AI can make math mistakes. This isn't financial advice.
