Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good personal savings rate?
Financial advisors recommend saving at least 15-20% of gross income. This includes employer matches and retirement contributions. The national average is around 4-5%. Those pursuing FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) often aim for 50% or more.
Should I calculate savings rate on gross or net income?
Both are useful. Gross income rate is the standard benchmark (since 401k comes from gross). Net income rate shows what fraction of take-home pay you're saving. Include 401k/IRA contributions and employer matches for a complete picture.
