How To Use This Planner

Enter your take-home pay and any other income. Set how often each one arrives and we'll convert everything to a monthly figure.

Fixed Past Commitments

Obligations you've already committed to — debt payments, insurance, taxes, utilities, and other recurring bills. These come out first.

These are recurring commitments already in place. The goal over time is to keep this bucket as lean as possible so more can flow to Flexible and Future.

Flexible Present Choices

Everyday, variable spending you control week to week — groceries, dining, gas, fun. Track it weekly; we'll show the monthly equivalent too. Add separate buckets if it helps (e.g. per person or per category).

Future Needs & Wants

Money set aside for what's ahead, grouped by time horizon. Name the goal and where it's saved, then set the amount and how often you contribute.
