Analysing your Monthly personal Expenses better : Planning Better
Ever wondered how you could plan your spends better to ensure you hit your savings goals?
Lets look at the possibilities using TalktoData.AI.
In this tutorial we'll look at the below Data Analysis :
- Current Average monthly spends and Future monthly average spends taking 6% inflation
- What should be your monthly salary now to ensure 10 Lakhs savings in the next 5 years taking a constant 6% inflation
With this Analysis, we are trying to understand how the spends are going to increase and what should be our personal earnings growth to survive.
Please use the attached sample data set to follow along with this Tutorial

Step 2:
Asking the Tool to perform the first Analysis. For this, i'm using the command
"what are the Current Average monthly spends per category and can you show me the Future monthly average spends taking 6% inflation per year for the next 5 years"
Fig. 3: Graph Output
- Current Average Monthly Spend: 11,583.66 INR
- Future Average Monthly Spend (after 5 years at 6% annual inflation): 15,501.54 INR
Now we know that we need to spend 15.5K instead of 11.5K in the next 5 years taking a constant inflation of 6%.
Step 3:
Now lets further analyse the data and see what should be our Salary to hit the 1 Million savings target.
First I'm using the prompt : "what should be my salary Year on Year to reach the 10 lakhs goal in 5 years. Also give me the year by year breakdown of expenses savings and income?"
| Year | Projected Annual Expenses (INR) | Required Salary This Year (INR) | Savings This Year (INR) | Accumulated Savings (INR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 139,003.87 | 339,003.87 | 200,000.00 | 200,000.00 |
| 2 | 147,344.10 | 359,344.10 | 212,000.00 | 412,000.00 |
| 3 | 156,184.75 | 380,904.75 | 224,720.00 | 636,720.00 |
| 4 | 165,555.84 | 403,759.04 | 238,203.20 | 874,923.20 |
| 5 | 175,489.19 | 427,984.58 | 252,495.39 | 1,127,418.59 |

This is one example of how you can rationalise your income and expenses to reach your financial goals.
Don't stop here, here are a few thought starters for further analysis :
- In how many months can you reach your financial goal of 1 Million, if you invest your monthly savings in a FD which gives 5% interest?
- What if you reduce your spends by 10%? How will that impact your savings?
- What will your be your savings, if you take a loan with an EMI of 30% of your salary?
- How much should you invest in a FD/ Bond or savings scheme which can give you Monthly returns equal t o your monthly expenses, considering your investment pays 6% interest per Annum.
To ensure accurate results, it's important for us to ask the right questions.
