Monthly budget planner: the month, planned day by day

A monthly budget planner should do two things: show what the month costs and show when the money has to be there. Most planners do the first. This one does both — every item sits on its date, and the projected balance reveals the days where the plan would break.

    Income, bills and balance for every day of the month, at a glance.

    The planner, recurring plans and reports are free; Pro is one-time.

Plan once, reuse every month

The advantage of a dated planner is compounding: enter your recurring items once, and every future month arrives pre-planned. Each month you only add the one-offs and adjust what changed — ten minutes instead of an evening.
