50/30/20 budget calculator
Put in your own numbers and see the arithmetic laid out line by line. Each market has its own version in its own currency.
Pick your edition
Each one uses that market’s published prices and opens at our reference profile, which you can change.
How it works
The calculator uses only figures each provider publishes. Where a fee is not published, the row says so and the figure leaves it out, which is why such a row ranks after every fully priced one. Introductory discounts are ignored because they end; tax is excluded because it depends on you.
This is a planning tool: it works on the numbers you enter and does not rank providers. The comparisons explain how their lists are ordered, and the full method is on how we rank.
