Description

πŸ’° PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK BUDGET PLANNER
Stop budgeting by the calendar month β€” start budgeting by your actual paycheck. Use it as a browser app, an Excel workbook, or a Google Sheet β€” pick whichever tool you already live in, no need to choose just one.

✨ THREE WAYS TO USE IT
πŸ“± HTML App β€” an interactive, self-contained web app. Open it in any browser, no install, no account.
πŸ“Š Excel Workbook β€” a full formula-driven template you own and edit in Microsoft Excel (2016+).
🟒 Google Sheets β€” the same workbook, ready to import into Google Sheets and use in the browser, free.
Fill in your own numbers, or start from the "WITH DEMO" version to see it working with example data first.

⏰ WORKS WITH ANY PAY SCHEDULE
Weekly β€’ Biweekly β€’ Semimonthly β€’ Monthly

πŸ“Š THE EXCEL / GOOGLE SHEETS WORKBOOK
βœ… START HERE tab β€” a 5-step guide to get set up in minutes
βœ… SETUP β€” pay frequency, first payday, planning horizon (6/12/24 months), weekend payday rule, take-home pay
βœ… PAY CALENDAR β€” every paycheck in your plan, built automatically, with weekend & month-end adjustments handled for you
βœ… BILLS β€” one entry per bill (monthly, yearly, weekly or one-time), auto-matched to the paycheck that pays it
βœ… SPENDING β€” log purchases, auto- or manually-assigned to the paycheck they came from
βœ… SAVINGS β€” goals, contributions, and progress toward each target
βœ… DEBT β€” balances, APR, payments and payoff progress
βœ… Up to 20 fully editable bill categories and 20 spending categories
βœ… DASHBOARD β€” filter by Year, Month or a single paycheck; Income, Bills, Spending, Savings, Debt, Total Outflows, Remaining & Savings Rate, plus 4 built-in charts (Paycheck Cash Flow, Money Allocation, Remaining Trend, Savings vs Debt)
βœ… Every calculation lives in hidden engine tabs, so the sheets you use stay clean

πŸ“± THE HTML APP CAN DO
βœ… Auto-builds every future paycheck from your pay schedule
βœ… Countdown to your next payday + a daily "safe to spend" number
βœ… Bills auto-assigned to the paycheck that has to pay them
βœ… Mark bills & spending "optional" β€” get instant suggestions when a paycheck runs short
βœ… Track planned vs. actual spending, then "close" a paycheck to freeze the numbers
βœ… Dashboard charts: where your paycheck goes, what's left after each paycheck, your full pay-year at a glance
βœ… One-click Excel export of your own live data, plus print-to-PDF for any paycheck
βœ… 40 currency symbols, custom editable bill categories

πŸ”’ YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE
No login, no cloud, no tracking. The HTML app saves everything locally in your own browser, with automatic backup snapshots and a one-click JSON backup you control. The Excel/Sheets workbook is simply your file β€” it stays wherever you save it.

πŸ–¨οΈ PRINTABLE PDF COMPANIONS
