How to use the KiraBoss Money Tracker

Skip the maths: work out your own numbers with the free Money Tracker.

Open Money Tracker

The Money Tracker turns your salary, loans and savings into one monthly picture.

1. Add your income

Enter your take-home pay — the amount that lands in your bank after EPF, SOCSO, EIS and PCB. Not sure? Work it out with the Salary Calculator first. Add side income as a second row.

2. Add your commitments

Tap the quick-add chips: housing loan, car loan, PTPTN, credit card, TNB/water, phone/Unifi, insurance, subscriptions. For loans, open Loan details and enter the outstanding amount, interest rate and remaining term — the tracker then shows your payoff date and what an extra RM 100 a month would save.

3. Set savings goals

Emergency fund, ASB/ASNB, Tabung Haji, fixed deposit, EPF top-up or unit trust. Each one is pre-filled with a typical return, and ASB-style accounts are compounded yearly the way dividends are really declared.

4. Read your numbers

  • Loan load (DSR) — instalments as a share of income. Banks are usually comfortable below 60%.
  • Savings rate — aim for 10–20%.
  • Emergency fund — three months of commitments is the standard target.
  • Money coach — plain-language tips on what to fix first.

Keeping your data safe

Signed in with a free KiraBoss account, your tracker is stored in your account and follows you to any device. As a guest, everything stays in that browser only — clearing cache, history or using incognito deletes it, so use Backup to download a copy.
