Thank you for your interest!
Add together your required monthly outgoings – those which you can’t live without. For example, home loan or rent, food costs and electricity bills. Then deduct this figure from your total monthly income. The amount of money you have left is the maximum amount that you can use to pay off your debts so try to stick as close to this figure as possible. Prioritize which debts you clear first by the amount of interest you’re paying on them. It may make sense to focus on paying off a loan with a high interest faster, however, do your research. A very large lump sum for the prepayment of a home loan could be invested to earn higher returns that could cover the interest rate of the home loan. The payments for loans also shouldn’t eat into your emergency fund.
Needs
These are things you require to live or unavoidable bills. This includes essentials such as food, rent or home loan payments, other loan payments, electricity bills and transportation costs. Don’t forget to also include important yearly payments such as health insurance premiums and internet bills.
