Who it's for
- You're paid every two weeks and monthly budgets never quite match your cash flow.
- You want to know in advance which paycheck has to cover rent, and which one is tight.
- You'd like a running balance for the year without tracking every coffee.
How it works
Buy and get your download link by email straight away.
Open the .xlsx in Excel, or upload it to Google Drive and open with Google Sheets.
On the Setup tab, enter your first payday, your typical paycheck and each monthly bill with its due day.
What's inside
Pay Period Planner
Every biweekly pay period for the year from one start date: the bills due in each one, what's left after bills, and your running balance.
Dashboard
Your lowest running balance for the year and exactly which pay period is tightest.
Paychecks log (optional)
Log actual paychecks as they arrive and the planner uses them instead of your typical amount.
Setup
Up to 10 monthly bills with name, amount and due day. A bill due on the 31st is handled correctly in shorter months.
Works in Microsoft Excel (Windows, Mac, web) and Google Sheets. No macros or add-ons. Use any currency. Example rows are clearly marked so you can delete them.
Questions
I'm paid weekly, not every two weeks. Does it still work?
Reasonably well: treat two weekly paychecks as one pay period and enter their combined amount.
What about months with 3 paychecks?
The 27-period planner covers slightly over a year, so any 3-paycheck month on your schedule is included automatically.
Does it work in Google Sheets?
Yes. Upload the .xlsx file to Google Drive and choose "Open with Google Sheets". Formulas, dropdowns and charts work. You need a free Google account.
Which currency does it use?
Any. Amounts are plain numbers, so use whatever currency you earn and spend in.
How do I get the file?
Right after checkout you get a download link by email. Checkout is handled by Lemon Squeezy.
What if something doesn't work?
Email me. I'll help you fix it, and if I can't, I'll refund you.
Is this financial advice?
No. It's a planning and tracking tool based on the numbers you enter.
