The Financial Health score is based on several factors including your income-to-expense ratio, savings rate, and debt burden. A score of "Excellent" means you're saving at least 20% of your income and have a healthy balance between income and expenses. "Good" indicates you're saving 10-20% of income with expenses well below income. "Fair" means you're saving less than 10% with expenses close to income. "Needs Improvement" indicates expenses equal to or exceeding income with little to no savings.

Yes, when adding income or expenses, you can mark them as recurring and specify the frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc.). The budget calculator will automatically adjust the amounts based on your selected budget period. This makes it easy to account for regular income like salaries and recurring expenses like rent, utilities, and subscriptions.
