This study aims to analyze the influence of financial perception and financial management on financial planning with financial literacy as a mediating variable. The problem investigated is how financial perception, financial management, and financial literacy affect individual financial planning. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method on subjects involved in personal financial management.

The results show that financial perception has a significant effect on financial planning, financial management has a significant effect on financial planning, and financial literacy has a significant effect on financial planning. Furthermore, financial literacy was proven to mediate the influence of financial perception and financial management on financial planning. The conclusion of this study is that financial perception, financial management, and financial literacy play an important role in improving individual financial planning.
