  1. Basic Personal Income Household Budget

  2. Basic income • basic income is a proposed system of social security, that periodically provides each citizen with a sum of money that allows the receiver to participate in society with human dignity. • "The Basic Income Guarantee is an unconditional, government-insured guarantee that all citizens will have enough income to meet their basic needs."

  3. Basic Monthly Budget • Making a budget is pretty simple. But before I outline how to make a budget, I need to explain what I believe is the number one key concept in budgeting: A Budget is a Plan. "Budgeting" and "Planning" are synonymous. • "A budget is a plan for how you are going to spend your money"

  5. List of Household Expenses How Much Should I Be Spending? Below is the calculator’s list of household expense categories and suggested standard budget percentages. • Housing: 25-35% • Food: 5-15% • Auto/Transportation: 10-15% • Insurance: 5% • Debt: 5-10% • Entertainment / Recreation; Personal: 5-10% • Clothing: 2-7% • Savings: 5-10% • Medical / Dental: 5-10% • Utilities: 5% • Investments: 10-15% • Charitable Gifts: 10-15% Read more at Suite101: Basic Monthly Budget – Household Expenses List: Standard Family Budgeting Example & Free Excel Worksheet Templatehttp://personal-budget-creation.suite101.com/article.cfm/basic_monthly_budget_household_expenses_list#ixzz0v0sLlsWE

  6. Amounts Will Vary from Standard Monthly Budget • 6% should go toward child care or school expenses if the household has children in school or day care. • Since the percentages above add up to 100%, a household with children should reduce another categoryor combination of categories by 6% total to allow for child care.

  7. How Lower Income & Higher Income Household Month May Differ • Households with substantially lower or higher incomes will need to adjust percentages accordingly. • There are minimum cost levels in each category, and no matter how low an income goes, that minimum level will remain essentially the same. For instance, a one-bedroom apartment will have a base minimum price in each city; no matter what a person makes, that amount will not change unless the apartment is rent-controlled or subsidized in some way.

  8. A lower income household may pay a larger percentage of income toward housing, food, auto, insurance, and medical bills; the same household may not have enough money leftover at the end of the month to invest, so that category may be zero percent. • Conversely, a much higher income household may have more than 5% available for investing or may spend more money on recreation and miscellaneous expenditures.
