How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Partner 1: Savings Priority = 4, Partner 2: Savings Priority = 3, Partner 1: Spending Frugality = 3, Partner 2: Spending Frugality = 3 = 10 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Overall Compatibility Score
    Overall Compatibility Score = savingsAlignment * 0.25 +
    83.15 = 83.15
  3. Calculate Savings Alignment
    Savings Alignment = (1 - abs(savingsHabit1 - savingsHabit2) / 4) * 100
    75 = 75
  4. Calculate Spending Alignment
    Spending Alignment = (1 - abs(spendingStyle1 - spendingStyle2) / 4) * 100
    100 = 100
