Default Re: What % of your Income do you save?

This calculation is a bit tricky - your 401K/403B/IRA contribution is with pre-tax dollars, Roths and general savings are usually with after tax dollars. To be consistent, I'll calculate it against pre-tax dollars.

Anywhere between 35 - 40 % of my pre-tax monthly pay goes to savings or investment. Depends on how I do that month.
