Quick Summary: Zero-Based Budget Planner

Zero-based budgeting (ZBB) means Income minus Expenses equals Zero. Every rupee you earn is assigned to a category (including savings) before the month starts. This method is highly effective for variable earners and those struggling with 'invisible' spending leakage.

How to use the Zero-Based Budget Planner

  1. Input monthly income

    Enter your total expected net income for the upcoming month.

  2. Create expense categories

    Create specific categories for needs, debt payments, savings, and investments.

  3. Assign every rupee

    Allocate your income until the unallocated cash balance reaches exactly zero.
