We are not the whales, so when investing, we have to do it in stages or apply dollar cost averaging, so that it allows us to invest quietly every month or does not disturb our routine monthly needs, so we have to invest with idle money. There are several ways to calculate how much money we are idle every month.
1st. Add up all our income every month both from regular work, freelance and from earning sites such as forum sites, blogs etc.
2nd. Add up all your regular expenses, be it for food, clothes, paying for electricity, water, paying for internet subscriptions, etc.
3rd, Subtract income from expenses so that there is net income.
4th. At this stage, we can determine whether we are worthy of investing or have to improve or increase income first.
If we are eligible to be investors, it means that our income is greater than expenses. You can decide about 60% – 80% of your net income to buy investment instruments. Meanwhile, you can use the remaining money as an emergency reserve fund.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here, as the ideal amount to invest each month depends on your individual financial situation and goals. However, here are some general guidelines:
Set a budget – Determine how much you can reasonably afford to invest each month without compromising your other financial obligations. Avoid simply investing leftover money.
Pay yourself first – Automatically transfer your investment amount each month before spending on discretionary items. This builds discipline.
Aim for 10-15% of income – Contributing 10-15% of your gross income into investments each month is a good target for most people. This includes employer retirement account contributions.
Max out tax-advantaged accounts – If eligible, prioritize maxing out IRA, 401k, HSA, and other tax-advantaged investment accounts before taxable brokerage investing.
Consider windfalls – Bonuses, tax refunds, and monetary gifts could supplement your normal monthly investing amount. Even small windfalls add up.
Increase over time – Consider increasing your monthly investment amount by 1-3% per year or whenever you get a raise. This builds your invested assets faster.
Start small if needed – Even $50-100 per month is beneficial. Investing something is better than nothing while you work to increase your investing contributions.
The more you can consistently invest each month, the better. Work within your budget and stick to the plan. Time and compounding will help grow your invested wealth.
