Discussion

-To determine your flex-spending amount, we recommend first subtracting your fixed costs and financial goal contributions from your take-home pay i.e. the amount that hits your bank account after taxes and other contributions.

-This way, you will know that the amount that is left for flexible spending is truly yours to spend however you want.
