Trek4WealthSavings Rate Ladder
Which rung of the savings ladder are you on?
Work out your savings rate and what it takes to reach the next rung.
How this is worked out
Savings rate = amount saved or invested each month ÷ monthly take-home pay. Money that goes into a 401(k) or HSA before it reaches your account counts on both sides.
The rungs are rules of thumb, not official categories. A higher rate matters more than a higher income: it both builds savings faster and lowers the amount you need to live on.
