What Do Salary Percentages Mean?

Common rules of thumb for how to allocate your income:

% of Income	Typical Use	Guideline
10-15%	401(k) / retirement contribution	Financial advisors recommend saving at least 15% including employer match
20%	Emergency fund target	3-6 months of expenses; 20% savings rate builds this in 1-2 years
25-30%	Housing (rent/mortgage)	The "28% rule": spend no more than 28% of gross income on housing
30-35%	Total debt payments	The "36% rule": total debt obligations should stay under 36%
50%	Needs (50/30/20 budget)	Half your after-tax income goes to needs: housing, food, insurance, transport
