Looking for a more streamlined way of balancing your budget? Compare the Market’s Budget Planner gives you the ability to determine how you’re spending your money.

Just enter your income and expense details into the appropriate fields and select the correct frequency. Once you have entered all the relevant information, you can view a summary of your budget, which breaks down all your income and expenses into weekly, fortnightly, monthly and annual categories.

For accurate calculations:

  • Ensure that your net income reflects the figure of your regular pay slips.
  • Include all expenses you can think of, no matter how trivial they may be.
  • Add any additional income or expenses that may not fit into a category should be entered in the “Other” category.
  • Select the correct frequency (if you determine your income annually, select Yearly).

There are numerous expense categories that can be taken into account in the Budget Planner.

These include:

  • Home expenses
  • Living expenses
  • Vehicle and transport
  • Mortgage and debt repayments
  • Leisure and entertainment
  • Insurance and superannuation

By entering expenditure amounts in each of these categories, you can get an accurate budget summary of your finances.

With the Budget Planner, you can determine how much money you have once your expenses are paid. From there you can identify where you need to allocate your income, and which expenses you may need to cut back on.

What can the Budget Planner be used for?

Since a lot of our plans in life are based around money, the budget calculator has numerous uses. For example, if you are looking to get a loan at some point in the future – whether it’s for a car, home, or other purposes – you can use the budget calculator to identify how much money you are saving with your current income and expenditure habits.

If you are struggling financially, the Budget Planner can also help you adjust your lifestyle. By identifying how much money from your various expenses, you can determine which areas of your life you are potentially spending too much money on. This information can help you take action and control your expenditure.
