The conservative public formula

Arrived cash
− required commitments
− protected reserves
− safety buffer
= raw Safe-to-Spend result

The displayed result is floored at RM0.00. If the raw result is negative, the remaining gap is shown as shortfall.

Why this calculator is intentionally conservative

This public calculator is intentionally conservative. It does not model individual commitments linked to specific reserves. The full WangBuddy app can avoid double-counting when a commitment is explicitly linked to the reserve intended to cover it.

The calculator treats your total commitments as unlinked and keeps all entered reserves fully protected. It never guesses which reserve might cover which payment.

Fictional Malaysian ringgit example

Using the same production calculation as the tool, imagine RM5,000.00 has already arrived. Required commitments total RM2,000.00, protected reserves total RM1,000.00 and the safety buffer is RM500.00.

What is Safe to Spend?

Safe to Spend is WangBuddy's conservative estimate of recorded cash left after upcoming required commitments, virtual reserves and your safety buffer are protected. It uses money that has actually arrived—not hoped-for future income.

How WangBuddy calculates Safe to Spend

WangBuddy's safe_to_spend_v1 calculation starts with recorded cash that has already arrived. It subtracts uncovered required commitments in the selected horizon, all virtual reserves, and the safety buffer without counting linked reserve coverage twice.
