How you score on each pillar
You save about 29% of your income each month.
Your savings cover about 4.4 months of expenses (aim for 6).
Your EMIs take about 15% of your income (keep under 30–40%).
You have about 0.6× your annual income invested (a healthy target at 30 is ~1.7×).
On your current track, you're about 100% of the way to a comfortable retirement at 60.
Your biggest opportunities
- 1Put your surplus to work in long-term investments (an index SIP is a simple start) so your money compounds instead of sitting idle.
- 2Build an emergency fund of 6 months' expenses in a liquid account before investing more — it's what stops one bad month from becoming debt.
Most money tools give you a number. This one gives you a verdict. The Financial Health Score is a single 0–100 rating of how healthy your finances really are — a quick, honest check-up that tells you not just where you stand, but what to fix first.
It scores five pillars that decide your financial future: cash flow (are you living within your means?), emergency fund (could you survive a bad month?), debt (are EMIs choking your income?), investments (is your money working?), and retirement readiness (are you on track for 60?). Each is benchmarked against standard rules of thumb, so the score is grounded, not arbitrary.
Then it hands you your two biggest opportunities — the specific moves that raise your score the most — and links straight to the tools to act on them. Hit Save & track and come back monthly to watch the number climb. Everything stays on your device. It's the difference between knowing your numbers and knowing your plan.
Each pillar is scored against established personal-finance benchmarks: a healthy savings rate of 20–30%, an emergency fund of 6 months of expenses, a debt-to-income (FOIR) ceiling of ~30–40%, an age-based investment target (roughly your annual income × (age − 25) ÷ 3), and a retirement corpus of about 25× annual expenses (the 4% safe-withdrawal rule), projecting current investments plus ongoing surplus at ~11% to age 60 against expenses inflated at 6%. These are widely-used guidelines, not guarantees or personalised advice. All amounts stay in your browser.

- The weighting is our model's choice; your priorities may differ.
- What is a Financial Health Score?
- It's a single 0–100 number that summarises how healthy your personal finances are — think of it like a CIBIL score, but for your whole financial life instead of just your loan repayment history. It blends five things that actually matter: your monthly cash flow, your emergency fund, your debt load, how much you've invested, and whether you're on track for retirement.
- How is the score calculated?
- Each of the five pillars is scored 0–100 against standard personal-finance benchmarks — a 20%+ savings rate, a 6-month emergency fund, EMIs under ~30% of income, an age-appropriate investment multiple of your annual income, and a retirement corpus of about 25× your annual expenses. The overall score is the average of the five. It's guidance based on widely-used rules of thumb, not personalised financial advice.
- What's a good Financial Health Score?
- 80–100 is Excellent, 60–79 is Good, 40–59 is Fair, and below 40 needs attention. But the number matters less than the sub-scores — they show you exactly which area is dragging you down, so you know what to fix first. A 'Fair' score with a clear weak spot is easy to improve.
- Is my data safe?
- Yes. Everything runs in your browser — your income, savings and debt figures never leave your device and are never sent to a server. If you choose 'Save & track', the score is stored only in your own browser's local storage so you can watch it improve over time.
- How do I improve my score?
- Start with your two lowest pillars — the tool highlights them as 'your biggest opportunities' with specific actions. Common quick wins: build a 6-month emergency fund before investing more, bring EMIs under 35% of income, and put your monthly surplus into a long-term SIP. Re-check monthly and watch the number climb.
- Does it work for any income or country?
- Yes — the score is built on ratios (savings rate, months of expenses, debt-to-income, investment multiples), so it works at any income level. It currently shows amounts in rupees, but the logic isn't India-specific.
