How It Works
The Savings Rate Calculator uses a straightforward formula to determine your savings rate:
Savings Rate = ((Income - Expenses) / Income) × 100
Here’s what that means: Subtract your monthly expenses from your monthly income to find out how much you’re saving. Then, divide that amount by your income and multiply by 100 to get your savings rate as a percentage. It’s that simple!
