Student monthly allowance splitter

A monthly allowance feels like a lot until rent, food and last month’s debt quietly eat most of it. This tool takes your fixed costs and your savings goal off the top first, then divides what is left across four weeks. Set the savings aside at the start of the month and spend the rest against that weekly line — most months you will land on your feet.

Result

Out of 2,500 a month, take off fixed costs of 1,800 and your 200 savings goal first. What is truly free to spend is 500, or about 125 a week. Set the savings aside at the start of the month, spend the rest against that weekly line, and you should hold to the end.

Where the monthly allowance goes: fixed costs, savings set aside, and what is free to spend.

This is arithmetic on the numbers you enter, not spending advice.

Assumptions & limits

An unexpected bill breaks the weekly line; keep a little slack. The tool cannot make the social trade-offs for you — it only shows the room you have.
