Your private planners

Use these as starting points, not tests you must pass. All dollar entries use USD.

First-budget planner

Allocate monthly take-home income, not gross pay. All figures should cover the same month. Negative leftover means the plan needs adjustment.

Rent affordability check

Check what is left after your own bills. This is not landlord approval and does not prescribe a universal rent-to-income rule.

Paycheck take-home worksheet

Use deduction amounts from your paystub, offer documents or an official estimator. This worksheet subtracts inputs; it does not determine tax withholding.

Credit-utilization calculator

Calculate a balance-to-limit ratio. It does not estimate a credit score or guarantee that a lender will approve you.

Moving-out checklist

Prepare for the move without uploading your address or documents. Print a copy if you want to keep it.
