Savings Analysis & Wealth Growth

Savings analysis
- Yearly view: total savings for the year, the savings rate, and the month-by-month distribution, to find the month with the most savings
- Monthly view: the savings amount, savings rate, and day-by-day details of a single month, to see "which days were for saving and which days were for spending"
- Trend curve: how savings change month by month. Several negative months in a row means you are spending more than you earn — be alert
Reference benchmarks
For most people, keeping the savings rate above 20%~30% is fairly healthy; an expense-to-income ratio above 80% deserves attention. The exact standard varies from person to person and is for reference only.
Wealth growth
Wealth growth shows how your total assets change month by month as a net worth timeline:
- A rising curve = the balance is accumulating; a flat or falling curve = income cannot cover expenses or large amounts are being consumed
- Combine it with the balances of your fund accounts and the changes in debt management to understand where the asset changes come from
- Some platforms give a future forecast based on historical trends. The forecast is for reference only and does not constitute any investment or spending advice
How to use it
- Monthly review: look at this month's savings amount and savings rate, and compare against your savings plan target
- Quarterly review: look at the slope of the net worth curve to assess the long-term trend
- Before a large purchase: check the forecast and your current balance first to assess the impact on the plan
