Savings Goal Tracker — Build Your Emergency Fund ₹50 at a Time

Start with ₹50/day. Build an emergency fund, save for Diwali, or plan a family trip. DhanRakh's savings tracker makes saving visual, achievable, and fun.


Why Most Indians Have No Emergency Fund

Studies estimate that over 70% of Indian households have no emergency fund — meaning one medical bill, one vehicle repair, or one week without work can push them into debt. The reason isn't low income — it's the absence of a savings system.

When you don't see your savings growing, there's no motivation to continue. When there's no target, there's no urgency. And when "saving" means a vague intention rather than a specific goal, it never happens.

The Power of Small, Visible Goals

DhanRakh's savings goals work on three principles:

  • Small targets — save ₹50/day, not ₹50,000/year. The daily number feels achievable.
  • Visual progress — a progress bar that fills up every time you save. Dopamine hit included.
  • Named goals — "Emergency Fund", "Diwali Shopping", "Daughter's School Fees" — emotional connection drives consistency.

How to Set Up Your First Goal

  1. Open DhanRakh and go to Savings Goals
  2. Name your goal — "Emergency Fund ₹10,000"
  3. Set target amount — ₹10,000
  4. Set deadline — 6 months
  5. DhanRakh calculates: save ₹56/day or ₹1,667/month
  6. Every time you save, log it — watch the bar grow

Daily Savings Nudges

DhanRakh sends gentle daily nudges: "You saved ₹50 yesterday. Can you match it today?" or "You're 62% to your Emergency Fund goal — keep going!" These aren't annoying — they're motivating. And you can turn them off anytime.

Multiple Goals at Once

Most Indians save for multiple things simultaneously. DhanRakh lets you run several goals at once:

  • Emergency Fund — ₹10,000 by September
  • Diwali Shopping — ₹5,000 by October
  • Wife's Birthday Gift — ₹2,000 by December

Allocate each day's savings to whichever goal matters most right now.
