What to put in it

  • Set rent aside monthly, even if you pay it once a year. Then the year's rent is never a shock.
  • Divide school fees by the months in the term and save that every month.
  • Give family support its own line. It is real spending and it adds up.
  • Import your bank statements to see where the money really went, then adjust the plan.

How it works

  1. Open the template and type what comes in each month.
  2. Every category gets its share, so the plan adds up at once. Change any figure.
  3. Add what you spend, or import a bank statement, and see each month against the plan.

Questions people ask

What if we have two incomes?

Add both to what comes in each month. The plan shares out the total, and you can see each salary arrive when you import your statements.

Is my bank data safe?

We never connect to your bank. You upload a statement you downloaded yourself, and only the transactions are kept.

Is the budget planner free?

Yes. One budget is free, with the last 3 months to look back on. Paid plans keep more budgets and every past month.

Do you connect to my bank?

No. You type what you spend, or upload a statement you downloaded yourself. We never ask for bank logins.
