How to Invest Your Monthly Salary Wisely

Investing your monthly salary is one of the most important financial habits you can develop. Whether you are just starting your career or planning for long-term stability, knowing how to allocate your income helps reduce stress, build wealth, and achieve financial freedom.

Why Salary-Based Investing Matters

Most Indians want to invest but feel confused by too many options—mutual funds, PPF, gold, FDs, stocks, ELSS, and more. This confusion results in either delaying investments or choosing unsuitable products. A simple, structured strategy ensures you always make the right choice every month.

The 100–Age Investment Rule

A globally used principle is: Equity Allocation = 100 – Your Age. This ensures you take more growth-based risk when young and shift toward safer instruments as you get older. Our calculator uses a refined version of this approach designed specifically for Indian investors.

Benefits of Consistent Monthly Investing
