Is this spreadsheet right for you?
This is for you if...
- You get paid weekly or biweekly
- You want a simple spreadsheet, not a complex app
- You're tired of monthly budgets that don't match your pay schedule
- You want to see what each paycheck needs to cover
This is not for you if...
- You want a mobile budgeting app
- You need complex forecasting or automation
- You get paid monthly only
- You want bank account syncing
Monthly budgets look fine—until your bills and paydays don't line up
Real bills happen between paychecks. A monthly total doesn't show what each paycheck must cover. This spreadsheet helps you assign bills by payday, not just by month.
- — Unsure what each paycheck needs to cover
- — Spending without knowing your real leftover
- — Monthly totals that don't match pay timing
- — Each paycheck has a clear plan
- — Bills are assigned before payday
- — Leftover money is always visible
