Last month I cut my spending by 19% - so how do I calculate this months reduction?

[KatyMac]

Do I use last months total or do I use my 'normal' total?

no-one?

It depends whether you want to calculate it as a % of last month's total or as a % of the "normal" total. You could do both if you enjoy fiddling around with the calculator!

So I either saved 55% on my normal spend or I reduced last months spend by 45%

That's quite cool

Thanks - I wonder which is more relevant/impressive
