You may have some money left over each month.

Great news! You appear to be managing your money. If you have not already done so, think about seeking advice on savings and investments to make the most of any money you have left over each month. The Money Advice Service offers free impartial advice on this subject and is a good place to start.

You are saving £ annually.

You may be spending a bit more than you are earning.

It looks like you are spending a little more than you are earning. Check out our information on how to save money on your household bills; you could make the savings you need this way.

Also, look at your outgoings line-by-line. Try to identify essential and non-essential expenses, i.e. rent is obviously an essential expense, but maybe you could reduce the amount you spend on eating out or entertainment? If you are only spending on essential items and feel like your money worries are getting out of control, you can contact our Money Advice team for a confidential chat.

You may be spending a bit more than you are earning.

You are spending more than you are earning and need to make some changes. We would also encourage you to seek advice from a money and debt advice service as soon as possible. It is vital that you act quickly to sort out any debts you have. They are much easier to sort out if you catch them quickly. Look at our page on Debt Advice for details of organisations that can help you.
