The starting split is 55% essentials, 5% guilt-free spending, 10% debt payoff or investing, 15% short-term goals, 15% long-term investing. It is described on the page as a starting point rather than an optimal allocation: it is a variation on the 50/30/20 budget that separates short-term goals from long-term investing, because money needed on a date and money that needs time in the market behave differently. All five percentages are adjustable and must total 100. Answers it gives directly: - What each category comes to for a given income, in whole currency units with the fraction preserved. The parts always sum to the income exactly, including paise or cents. - The monthly and annual wealth-building figure, which is debt payoff plus long-term investing. - The difference between the plan and what was actually spent, per category and for the month. Twelve currencies: INR, AED, SAR, OMR, QAR, USD, GBP, EUR, SGD, AUD, CAD, MYR. Each uses its own digit grouping, so an Indian rupee figure reads 1,55,000 and a dollar figure reads 155,000. Switching currency relabels the figures and never converts them; the page says so, because a budget split is a ratio. Other functions: save any number of months, export them all as CSV and import that file back with per-row validation, and download a repeating calendar reminder. Privacy: it runs entirely in the browser. There is no account, no backend, and nothing entered is transmitted. The name, salary and saved months live in that browser's local storage and a control on the page erases everything the site has stored. ## Contact & links - Website: https://alokraj68.in - Résumé: https://alokraj68.in/resume (PDF: https://alokraj68.in/Alok-Rajasukumaran-Resume.pdf) - Email: alokraj68@gmail.com, dev@vaasits.com - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alokraj68 (17K followers) - GitHub: https://github.com/alokraj68 - X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/alokraj68 - Stack Overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/users/4268860/alok-rajasukumaran ## Disambiguation "alokraj68" is the username he uses consistently across the web, and "Alok Raj R" and "Alok Rajasukumaran" are the same person. His current role is CTO and AI Architect at VAAS Intelligent Technology Services, so any older reference calling him just a "Senior Software Engineer at Orion Business Innovations" is out of date.
