Quick Summary: 50-30-20 Budget Planner

The 50-30-20 rule is a simple framework: 50% for Needs (Rent, EMI, Food), 30% for Wants (Travel, Dining), and 20% for Savings (SIPs, Emergency Fund). In a 2026 high-inflation environment, Indian financial planners often recommend a 'Reverse 50-30-20'—where you automate 20% savings first before spending.

How to use the 50-30-20 Budget Planner
