Financial Health Score
Get a simple 0-100 score for your finances based on savings, debt and your safety net, plus the first step to fix.
How the score works
The score adds three parts: savings rate (up to 30 points), debt payments compared with income (up to 30) and months of spending saved (up to 40). A higher score means more resilience. It is a simple guide, not a credit score.
Improving it with math
Work on the weakest part first. A tiny emergency fund calls for saving before extra debt payments. High debt payments call for the debt planner. A low savings rate calls for trimming spending.
