Assumptions:
- Current income
- Projected income growth
- Savings goals
- Expenses
Steps to Determine Income Target:
1. Calculate Current Income: Calculate your monthly or annual income from all sources.
2. Estimate Income Growth: Consider expected raises, promotions, or additional income streams. Estimate a percentage or specific amount of expected growth.
3. Determine Savings Goals: Identify any savings goals you have for the next six months, such as an emergency fund or down payment.
4. Estimate Expenses: List your fixed and variable expenses for the next six months. This includes essential expenses like housing, utilities, and food, as well as discretionary expenses like entertainment and travel.
5. Set Income Target: Based on the above calculations, set an income target that covers your expenses, savings goals, and leaves room for additional financial goals or buffer.
Example Calculation:
Assume the following:
- Current monthly income: $5,000
- Expected income growth: 2% per month
- Savings goal: $3,000 in 6 months
- Monthly expenses: $3,500
Income Target Calculation:
- Step 1: Current income = $5,000 x 6 months = $30,000
- Step 2: Income growth = 2% x 6 months = 12%
- Step 3: Income with growth = $30,000 x 1.12 = $33,600
- Step 4: Savings goal = $3,000
- Step 5: Expenses = $3,500 x 6 months = $21,000
Income Target: $33,600 + $3,000 (savings goal) + $21,000 (expenses) = $57,600
Conclusion:
Based on these assumptions and calculations, you should aim to earn $57,600 over the next six months to meet your savings goals, cover expenses, and leave room for additional financial goals.
Note:
This is just an example, and your income target may vary depending on your individual circumstances and financial objectives. It's important to regularly review and adjust your income target as needed.
