Quick Ways to Estimate
💳 The Credit Card Method
Add up your last 3 months of credit card statements, divide by 3, then add any bills paid directly from your bank (mortgage, utilities, car payment).
🏠 The Fixed + Variable Method
Fixed costs: Mortgage/rent + car payment + insurance + subscriptions
Variable costs: Add roughly $1,500-2,500/person for food, gas, entertainment, misc.
📊 The Income Method
Take your monthly after-tax income, subtract what you save/invest each month. The rest is spending. Most households spend 70-90% of take-home pay.
Typical Monthly Spending by Household
Single: $3,000-5,000 Couple: $5,000-8,000 Family (4): $7,000-12,000
