Left over is take-home income minus rent, food, transport, subscriptions, savings, and other. It is not savings. Needs are rent, food, and transport (50%). Wants are subscriptions and other (30%). Savings is only the savings field (20%).

On $4,200 with the sample amounts, spending is $3,434 and $766 is left over, about 18% still unassigned.
