Household budget Sankey diagram template

See how household income is allocated across housing, groceries, transport, childcare, lifestyle spending, savings, and an emergency fund.

Make a monthly budget easier to read

This fictional $5,000 monthly income example allocates $2,000 to housing, $700 to groceries, $300 to transport, $1,200 to savings and $800 to other costs. Those amounts add up to the incoming total; the chart is a preparation example, not financial advice or a recommended budget. Replace it with one consistent month and one clear unit.

Monthly income -> Housing: 2000
Monthly income -> Groceries: 700
Monthly income -> Transport: 300
Monthly income -> Savings: 1200
Monthly income -> Other: 800

Keep categories consistent

All rows describe one fictional month, not recommended spending proportions. Savings is an allocation of $1,200, not an expense: the other allocations total $3,800, leaving $1,200 before savings and no unallocated balance after savings. Count the transfer to savings once; do not also count the destination account balance as spending. Keep income, expenses and savings clearly labelled in one unit.
