Step 2: Enter Your Expenses
- Rent/Mortgage, Utilities, Food, Transport, and Other Expenses.
- All amounts must be positive numbers (or zero). Use decimals for cents if needed.
Step 3: Calculate
Click Calculate Budget. If any field is empty or invalid, it will highlight in red — fix it and try again.
Understanding the Results
