Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a budget from my income?

Enter the income available to you, then add essential costs, minimum debt repayments, extra spending, an allowance for surprises and any upcoming bills. KudiCalc shows what is left for savings and what remains unassigned.

How can I budget when my income changes?

Choose Variable Income, enter recent monthly amounts and plan from the average or lowest entered month. The range describes your entries and does not predict future income.

How much should I save each month?

There is no universal amount. KudiCalc compares its 20% planning target with any valid goal pace, then caps the suggestion at the capacity left after your included costs. You can choose the suggestion, all money left or your own amount.

What should I do if my expenses exceed my income?

The result shows the shortfall and recommends no new savings. Review only costs you can safely change, while keeping fixed essentials, minimum debt repayments and due-date bill funding visible.

How do I budget for annual rent or school fees?

Add the amount and due date under upcoming bills. KudiCalc works out what to set aside across the remaining pay opportunities and counts that funding once.

What is the difference between emergency savings and money for unexpected costs?

Emergency savings is money you already have available if income stops. The allowance for surprises is a planned amount inside this month’s budget for smaller unexpected costs. KudiCalc keeps them separate.

Can I use my own spending categories?

Yes. Choose category detail, add or remove categories and enter custom names. Only active categories with valid amounts are included in the submitted plan.

Can I keep my original plan instead of the suggestion?

Yes. Your entered plan remains separate. An improved or starter plan becomes selected only when you choose it, and Keep My Plan restores the original figures for the summary and PDF.

Can I download my budget as a PDF?

Yes. After the required information is complete, KudiCalc creates a PDF in your browser from the selected plan. It does not email the file.

Is KudiCalc free, and what happens to the information I enter?

KudiCalc is free to use and does not require an account. Planner figures are calculated in your browser and are not included in analytics events. Your theme preference is stored locally; Start Again clears the current planner state and older saved drafts.
