Common questions
How does it work out my holiday total?
It adds what you've already set aside to what you'll set aside on each payday before your spend-by date. Only money you'll have by then counts.
Why do the other costs come off first?
Food, travel and cards are easy to forget. Taking them off first means the gift number covers only gifts.
Does this save my numbers?
No. The calculator does its math in your browser. What you type in it isn't sent to us, and we don't save it.
Is this financial advice?
No. It's arithmetic on the amounts and dates you enter. It doesn't judge what you can afford.
