Understand your Budget Score

Your Budget Score measures one thing: how much of your income has a job. It is not about how much you earn or spend.

1. 1

   Find the score in the Budget Coach

   Open the Budget and look at the Budget Coach panel. The score shows as a number out of 100, with a short label such as Strong discipline.

   

2. 2

   Read what the number means

   100 means every dollar is planned. Leaving some unassigned scores 70 to 99. Planning more than your income drops it to 49 or lower, because the plan can't happen.

3. 3

   Use the Teachable Moment

   Below the score, the coach explains what this month teaches and what happens If You Repeat This Month.
