Progress: 0 / 8 (0%)

How to Use It

  • Go to Pay Calculator and enter your details.
  • Click "Download Budget Sheet (.xlsx)".
  • Only edit the blue cells-everything else updates automatically.
  • Use the "Start Here" targets to set housing/food/savings baselines.

Rules That Keep You Safe

  • Housing (rent + utilities) should generally fit inside your BAH target.
  • Make savings automatic (small is fine-consistency wins).
  • If you have high-interest debt, prioritize it before upgrades.
  • Re-run the Pay Calculator whenever rank/YOS/ZIP changes.
