Financial wellbeing scored across four dimensions: emergency fund depth, debt-to-income ratio, savings rate, and net worth progress. Each dimension scores 0-25, summing to 100. Above 70 is healthy; 50-70 is average; below 50 signals financial stress. The four-dimension breakdown shows where to focus improvement rather than a single opaque number.
6 months emergency fund (24/25), 30% DTI (10/25), 15% savings rate (18.75/25), 70% of target net worth for age (17.5/25) = total 70.25/100. Healthy. The weakest dimension (DTI at 40%) would be the focus area - reducing debt would lift the score faster than any other change.
The dimensions reinforce each other. Higher savings rate builds emergency fund faster and pushes net worth up. Lower DTI frees cash flow for savings. Strong emergency fund allows more aggressive investing for higher net worth growth. Working on any dimension usually lifts related dimensions over time.
Quick example
With emergency fund of 6 months and debt-to-income of 30% (plus savings rate of 15% and net worth vs target of 70%), the result is 70 / 100. Change any figure and watch the output shift — it's often more useful to see the pattern than to memorise the formula.
Which inputs matter most
You enter Emergency Fund (months), Debt-to-Income %, Savings Rate %, and Net Worth vs Target %. Not every input has equal weight. Flip one at a time toward extreme values to feel which ones move the needle most for your situation.
What's happening under the hood
EF score = min(25, months × 4). DTI score = max(0, 25 - DTI × 0.5). Savings score = min(25, rate × 1.25). NW score = min(25, NW % × 0.25). Total = sum. The formula is listed in full below. If the number looks off, you can retrace the calculation by hand — that's the point of showing the working.
What the score tells you
Headline financial numbers — income, savings, debt — each tell part of the story. This calculation stitches several together into a single read you can track over time. The value is in the direction, not the absolute number.
What this doesn't capture
The score is a composite of the inputs you provide. Life context — job security, family obligations, health, housing — doesn't appear in the math but shapes the real picture. Use the number as a prompt, not a verdict.
6mo EF, 30% DTI, 15% saving, 70% NW = 70 / 100.
Inputs
This example uses typical values for illustration. Adjust the inputs above to match a specific situation and see how the result changes.
