        "summary": "Financial planner Rista Zwestika advises determining a total budget for Eid angpau, typically 10-15% of THR bonuses like Rp500,000-750,000 from a Rp5 million bonus, to avoid disrupting essential needs. Recipients should be prioritised starting with close family such as nephews at Rp50,000, cousins at Rp30,000, neighbours' children at Rp20,000, and household helpers at Rp60,000. Adjustments can be made by reducing amounts or recipients if funds are short, or increasing them if surplus, ensuring the tradition enhances rather than burdens finances during the festive season.",

Although not obligatory, those wishing to\ngive Eid angpau to family members should incorporate this expense into\ntheir holiday budget. Financial planner Rista Zwestika states that one\nmust first determine the total amount of Eid angpau to be given. Once\nthe total funds are set, individuals can decide who will receive it and\nhow much. \u201cAllocating money for Eid greetings money requires planning so\nas not to disrupt finances. Do not sacrifice primary needs,\u201d she told\nKompas.com. For example, she explains, if someone has a THR of Rp5\nmillion, with a calculation of 10-15 percent, the allocation for Eid\nangpau would be Rp500,000-750,000. On the other hand, someone intending\nto give Eid angpau should also make a list of recipients and categorise\nthem based on priority. Rista suggests that priorities for Eid angpau\nrecipients can start with nephews and young children in the immediate\nfamily, followed by cousins and the extended family. After that, there\nare neighbours and children around the home, then household assistants\nor daily helpers. The amount of Eid angpau can also be adjusted\naccording to the recipient\u2019s priority. For instance, Rista mentions,\nnephews from the immediate family might receive Rp50,000, cousins from\nthe extended family Rp30,000. Then, neighbours\u2019 children could get\nRp20,000, and household assistants Rp60,000. Furthermore, Rista adds\nthat if funds are insufficient, adjustments can be made by reducing the\namount per person or the number of recipients in broader categories.\nMeanwhile, if funds are excess, one can add more recipients or give\nlarger amounts to the immediate family.<\/p>",
