Financial Concepts & Guidance

What is EMI and how is it calculated?

EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is the fixed amount you pay monthly on a loan. It includes both principal repayment and interest. The formula is: EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N - 1]. Use our EMI calculator for instant results. Read our EMI guide for detailed explanation.

What is a good financial health score?

Our Financial Health Score ranges from 0-100. A score above 60 indicates good financial health. Scores above 75 are excellent. We provide personalized recommendations to improve each pillar of your score.

How much should I save monthly?

A common guideline is 50/30/20: 50% for needs (rent, groceries), 30% for wants (entertainment), and 20% for savings and debt repayment. LedgerLink Pro helps you track this ratio. Read our budgeting tips for more guidance.

What is the recommended emergency fund size?

Save 3-6 months of living expenses in an easily accessible account. For example, if you spend ₹50,000 monthly, keep ₹1,50,000-₹3,00,000 in an emergency fund. Read our emergency fund guide.

Should I prioritize paying off debt or saving?

If your debt has high interest (18%+ credit card), prioritize repayment. Build a small emergency fund first (₹50,000), then attack debt aggressively. Once high-interest debt is cleared, focus on savings and investments.

What are the best ways to invest with ₹10,000 monthly?

Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) in mutual funds are ideal. Split: 60% equity mutual funds (growth) + 30% balanced funds (safety) + 10% PPF (stability). Read our mutual fund guide.

How does inflation affect my savings?

Inflation (typically 5-6% in India) erodes purchasing power. If you keep money in a 3% savings account, you're effectively losing 2-3% annually. Invest in instruments returning 7-10%+ to outpace inflation.

Technical Support

The app crashes when I add an expense. What should I do?

Try these steps: 1) Clear app cache (Settings → Apps → LedgerLink Pro → Storage → Clear Cache), 2) Ensure you're on the latest app version, 3) Restart your phone. If the issue persists, email support@ledgerlinkpro.com with your device model and app version.

Why isn't my data syncing across devices?

Ensure both devices are connected to the internet and you're logged into the same account. Go to Settings → Cloud Sync and toggle it on. If still not working, try logging out and back in. Contact support if sync fails.

The app is running slowly. How do I fix this?

If you have over 10,000 transactions, the app may slow down. Archive old transactions (Settings → Archive) to improve performance. Also free up phone storage space and close background apps.

Can I import data from other expense apps?

LedgerLink Pro can import CSV files from other apps. Go to Settings → Data Hub → Import and select your CSV file. Ensure the CSV format matches our template. Contact support for custom import assistance.
