Your Financial Actions & Paycheck Guide
How to read your financial roadmap and use the paycheck distribution guide to act on your plan.
- 1
Navigate to the Actions page
Click "Actions" in the left sidebar. You will see a badge showing the number of pending actions — these are areas where your finances need attention.
- 2
Read the Financial Roadmap
The roadmap lists specific, actionable steps to improve your financial health. Each action has a priority level and an estimated impact on your Fitness Score. Examples: • 'Build ₹2.4L emergency fund' • 'Increase term insurance cover by ₹50L' • 'Start SIP of ₹3,000/month for Education goal'
Focus on high-priority actions first — they have the biggest impact on your overall financial health score.

Use the Paycheck Distribution Guide
Below the roadmap is your personalised Paycheck Guide. When your salary arrives, this guide tells you exactly where each rupee should go — in the right order: 1. Fixed Expenses (rent, utilities) 2. EMIs (loan repayments) 3. Emergency Fund top-up 4. SIPs (goal investments) 5. Variable Expenses 6. Discretionary (lifestyle)

Follow the priority order strictly
The order matters. EMIs before SIPs because a missed EMI hurts your credit score. Emergency fund before lifestyle because it protects against unexpected events. Treat SIPs like a fixed bill — non-negotiable.
Do not skip the emergency fund step. It is the financial safety net that prevents you from breaking your long-term investments during a crisis.

Track completed actions
As you complete actions (set up a new SIP, increase insurance), the Actions page updates. Completed actions reduce the badge count. Your Fitness Score improves as you address each area.
