5 Financial Ratios to Check Your Finanical Health

5 Financial Ratios to check your financial health

by Holistic Leave a Comment

Managing your personal finance is the key to a happy and stable life. But it is not that easy in these uncertain times. There are many issues that complicate the matter further. And financial goals and needs are not same for everyone. So it is not possible to draw universal financial ratios that work for everyone.

Though there are few basic ratios that can help you on the task. These ratios are not perfect but can be useful in checking if your spending, saving, debt and money management is in the acceptable ballpark range.

What follows here are financial ratios that you should abide by while managing your personal finance:

financial ratio, financial steps

Save 10% of your income :

Pay yourself first is the first general rule of saving money. Before you pay your bills, debts and use money for other things set aside your savings every month. The standard rule of thumb dictates that you should save at least 10% of your monthly income in addition to your savings for retirement . This savings will stand you in good stead in case of unexpected expenses like college fee, medical care etc.

Set aside an emergency fund of 3-6 months worth of household expenses :

It is prudent to have some emergency funds to deal with unexpected circumstances like sudden loss of job, health problems , breakdown of your car or high-value house appliances. You must have an emergency fund of three to six month worth of your household expenses. If your monthly expenditure is Rs 25000, you should keep aside between Rs 75,000 and Rs 1, 50,000 as emergency fund.

Debt should not exceed 35% of your monthly income :

The ideal situation would be if you have no debts. But that sounds implausible in the current economy. There are many instances where borrowing money is requisite but within a limit. The maximum debt payments should not be more than 36% of your gross monthly salary, and over time you should try to bring it down to be in control of your life.

The 20/4/10 rule for buying a car:

If you are going to buy a car, you should make a down payment of 20%, finance the car for 4 years and car loan should exceed the 10% of your gross monthly income. The first rule keeps you from paying more EMI, while second and third rule don’t allow you to own more car than you can afford.

Retirement savings should be thirty times your annual expenses:

For a comfortable retirement , you must save thirty times your annual expenses. So if your annual expenses are Rs 15 lac per year, you should save up to 4.5 crores for your retirement. Those early in their careers should save 10% for their retirement, while those closer to retirement should set aside 20% of their income.

These ratios are generic and indicate the approximate financial health of a person. If you would like to check your financial health completely and comprehensively with more accuracy, it is better to design a customized financial plan.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

I've been availing their services for the past year. They are highly knowledgeable in the field and are very patient with all doubts and queries. Personalized financial planning is provided keeping your short term, medium term and long term goals in mind. They do not pressurize you to purchase schemes of their choice. They provide their input and suggestions and leave the decision up to you which shows their honesty and high principle.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
