How to calculate your Income and Expenditure

Calculate your income
Start by calculating your income, and list all the money coming in to your household.

This includes salaries for you and your partner, any regular overtime, list any benefits or pensions that you may receive.

Calculate your expenditure
Next, record all your essential outgoings which could include your mortgage/rent, household bills, clothing, and childcare costs.

Your statements should list all standing orders, and direct debits to help you do this.

To calculate the cost of your monthly food shopping add up your receipts to find out your monthly total. Make a note of all the other outgoings you have such as: phone, internet contracts, cost of travelling to and from work, plus the cost of running your vehicle such as maintenance and breakdown cover.

Another good idea is to total up what you spend daily on lunches at work.

Don’t forget about all your other costs such as gym membership, dental costs, pet insurance or hobbies and interests you may have.

Completing all this information will give you an accurate idea of what you are spending.

Your Disposable Income

After filling in the income and expenditure form, you’ll be able to see how much realistically you can afford each month on a loan repayment.

This will help you budget and even identify areas where you could cut back spending and save a little money each month.
