Calculate and sum up your all source of income. like property rents, Fixed Deposits, Dividends, Salary or any type of business income, etc. This product will be your total net income.

Step#2: Savings

Net income -Savings%=Gross Income

Wants to buy your own apartment or house.
Wants to buy a car.
Wants to go on a trip.
Savings for investment purposes.
Savings for health emergencies.
for kids' future etc.

In short, ascertain a random fixed % of your net income for savings purpose and forget it for a long period of time will help you in your rainy days and helps to feel debt-free.
