Want to start the new decade off on the right foot?

Use our quick guide to see how much you could set aside from each paycheck to save two paychecks in 2020.

  1. Multiply your paycheck by two.
  2. Count the number of times you get paid per year (52 for weekly or 26 for bi-weekly).
  3. Take your doubled paycheck and divide it by the number of times you get paid per year.
  4. The number you get is how much you should set aside each time you get paid to save two paychecks in 2020.

For example, if you get paid $800 each week and multiply that by two, it’s $1,600. Divide that by 52, and you get about $31. Set aside $31 from each paycheck (that’s only 3.9% of your paycheck) and you’ll have $1,612* (plus dividends!) saved up in 2020.
