Got Your Salary Hike And Bonus? Here Are 2 Saving Hacks Before You Go On A Spending Spree

Click here to read it.

June is finally here, and most of us are either eagerly anticipating or have already received our salary increases and bonuses.

The obvious next question is  – “What do you do with your bonus and salary hike?”

If left to our own devices, there is a high chance that we end up spending most of our bonus and hike, with very little saved or invested.

So, what do we do instead?

Here are two simple hacks you can follow to ensure that you strike the right balance between spending your much-deserved bonus and salary hike without compromising on your future savings!

Saving Hack 1: Increase your SIP amount every year as soon as you get your salary hike

Why?

Even a small increase every year can make a huge difference to your final portfolio value over the long run.

An increase in SIP amount every year helps you to 

  • Reach your financial goals faster
  • Expand your financial goals (eg afford a sedan instead of a hatchback) 

Let’s see how your portfolio looks without an increase in SIP and with an increase in SIP every year. 

Assume you are investing Rs. 5,000 every month via SIP and your investment earns a return of 12% CAGR. The value of your portfolio after 20 years would be around Rs 49 lakhs.

Now comes the interesting part. What do you think would be the value of your portfolio if you had increased your SIP say by 10% every year?

The value of your portfolio after 20 years would be almost Rs 98 lakh (vs Rs 49 lakhs) if you increase your SIP every year by 10%. 

Over a long time frame (i.e 20 years), your portfolio value when you increase your SIP every year by 10%  is almost twice the original portfolio with a constant SIP amount every year!

Here is a table that shows the difference in final portfolio values across different time frames for different % of the annual increase in SIP amount

Saving Hack 2: Invest atleast 50% of the bonus amount as per your existing asset allocation plan 

When it comes to your bonus, make sure you set aside atleast 50% of your bonus and invest it back into your long-term portfolio as per your original asset allocation.

Here is how you can deploy your money at the current juncture

Equity : 

  • 40% of the Equity amount can be immediately deployed in one go
  • 60% of the Equity amount can be deployed in a staggered manner – via weely STP over 3 months

Debt :

  • The entire Debt amount can be immediately deployed in one go

Here comes the good news – You can spend the remaining 50% of your bonus as you please!

Summing it up 

So, remember these two simple saving hacks when you get your salary hike and bonus,

  1.  Increase your SIP every year as your salary grows – ideally target to increase your SIP by 10% or more.
  2.  Save atleast 50% of the bonus amount and invest as per your existing asset allocation.

  4. When I originally left a comment I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new
    comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the same comment.
    There has to be an easy method you are able to remove me
    from that service? Many thanks!

  5. I think what you typed made a ton of sense. However, what about this?
    what if you wrote a catchier post title? I am not saying your content
    isn’t good, however suppose you added a post title to maybe get a person’s attention?
    I mean Personal Finance • Finance University is kinda boring.

    You ought to look at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create article titles
    to grab viewers to open the links. You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to grab readers excited about everything’ve got to say.

    Just my opinion, it might bring your blog a little bit more interesting.
