📊 Recommended Surplus Allocation
💡 THE HIERARCHY PRINCIPLE: ORDER MATTERS MORE THAN AMOUNT
The sequence is: (1) Emergency fund, (2) High-cost debt, (3) Insurance, (4) Retirement SIP, (5) Near-term goals, (6) Long-term wealth. Investing before clearing 36% APR credit card debt destroys wealth. Starting retirement SIP at 25 vs 35 doubles the corpus. Sequence before allocation.

Goal Priority — Why Sequence Beats Amount

The order in which you tackle financial goals matters more than the exact amount you allocate. ₹10,000 invested in the wrong sequence can destroy more wealth than it creates. The goal priority engine uses urgency, interest rates, time-criticality and tax efficiency to rank your goals.

Should I save for retirement or my child's education first?+

Retirement comes first — always. You can take an education loan for your child; you cannot take a retirement loan. Additionally, retirement compounds over 20–35 years vs 10–18 years for education — the compounding advantage is irreplaceable.

What if I can't fund all goals simultaneously?+

Fund the highest-priority goal fully first, then add the next. Exception: if you can get employer EPF match by contributing to retirement, always capture that first — it's a 100% guaranteed return.
