The 5 Jar Method to Manage Salary Like a Pro (No Matter Your Income)

Vizzve Admin

Managing money isn’t about how much you earn — it’s about how wisely you spend, save, and grow it. That’s where the 5 Jar Method steps in — a powerful yet simple money management technique that works for everyone, whether you earn ₹10,000 or ₹1,00,000.

At Vizzve Finance, we love this method because it helps users turn chaos into clarity — one jar at a time.

🪣 What Is the 5 Jar Method?

It’s a budgeting system where your income is divided into five key categories ("jars"). Each jar serves a unique financial purpose:

Necessities (50%)

Savings (20%)

Education & Growth (10%)

Play/Leisure (10%)

Giving or Charity (10%)

This ensures you're living your present while preparing for the future — and still enjoying life.

🤝 Why the 5 Jar System Works for Every Salary Range

It builds discipline — every rupee is assigned a job

No guilt spending — leisure is part of the plan

Balances today and tomorrow

Stress-free saving — no more “whatever’s left” at month-end

Adapts to any income size

🧮 Breakdown: What Goes Into Each Jar?

1. Necessities – 50%

🏠 Rent, groceries, bills, transport
💡 Keep this at or under 50% for stability.

2. Savings – 20%

📈 Emergency fund, fixed deposit, investments (Vizzve SIPs, mutual funds)
💡 This jar builds financial independence.

3. Education & Growth – 10%

📚 Courses, books, upskilling, workshops
💡 Investing in YOU is your highest ROI.

4. Play – 10%

🍿 Outings, gadgets, shopping, food delivery
💡 Spend guilt-free. That’s what this jar is for.

5. Give – 10%

🕊️ Donations, gifts for loved ones, social causes
💡 Giving makes money meaningful.

₹20,000 – Savings

₹10,000 – Education
