Saving as a couple: the simple method

A savings project that succeeds comes down to three decisions: a concrete goal, a realistic deadline, and a clear sharing rule between partners. That is exactly what this tool calculates, the rest is just consistency.

For each partner's share, the same rules as for expenses apply: 50/50 if your incomes are close, proportional if they are not. Saving proportionally keeps the joint project from weighing more heavily on the lower-earning partner.

Also keep this project fund separate from your emergency savings (ideally 3 to 6 months of expenses, always available). An automatic transfer on payday is your best ally: save first, spend after.

Frequently asked questions

How much should a couple save per month?+

There is no standard: start from the goal and the deadline rather than a theoretical percentage. (Goal − already saved) ÷ number of months = your monthly amount. If it is too high, extend the deadline or revisit the goal, the calculator lets you test live.

50/50 or income-based for joint savings?+

Same logic as for expenses: the income-based split equalises each partner's effort. For a genuinely shared project (home, trip), it is often the most sustainable rule when salaries differ.

Where should short-term project savings go?+

For a horizon under 3 to 5 years, favour safe and accessible products (regulated savings accounts, instant-access savings). This is educational content, not personalised investment advice.

How do we track the project together?+

In the WeZioo app, create a project with its goal, then each set aside part of your savings accounts for it (as “envelopes”). You watch the progress together, account by account, month after month.
