Create a household budget: Optimal budget planning

Why a household budget is the first step

Before you take out or refinance a personal loan, you need clarity: what comes in each month, what goes out as a commitment, and how much room remains for an instalment? A simple household budget protects you from overload and improves your enquiry.

Three pots are enough

• Fixed costs: rent, electricity, insurance, existing instalments

• Living costs: food, mobility, everyday expenses

• Buffer: at least 10% for the unexpected

Only subtract the preferred instalment after these three pots. If the buffer disappears, the instalment is too high – the loan itself is not necessarily the wrong choice.

How to stay realistic

Use account statements from the last three months instead of estimates. Also enter annual items on a pro-rata basis (insurance, tax, car). Mutuo Gruppe.de reviews your figures discreetly and suggests an instalment that fits everyday life in Germany.
