Budget by Pay Period Template
+ Mini Course
What you'll get:
- Template: available in google sheets or Excel format. Ready for you to fill out your pay period dates, expenses, and spending: no matter what they are!
- Snapshot Worksheet: a place to gather all your numbers in one spot (income, spending, debt, savings) before you set up the budget so that you can copy and paste!
- Videos: 3 short tutorial videos about how the template works and where to put your numbers.
- Flexibility: Duplicate the tabs or the whole document as many times as you want. It comes with 36 pay periods already set up, but you can insert pay periods and all formulas will still work.
- Analytics: as you fill the budget out, you'll see your average surplus or deficit across every pay period as well as what percent of your take home pay is going to each category of spending.
- Tracking: I use the budget to plan ahead but also to record my spending in real time. You'll have trackers at the bottom to stay on budget with your groceries, gas, etc. and easily record spending on the go! (The google sheets app is free and probably my most used app after Instagram!)
Bonus!
Holiday Budget Tab: plan out your total budget and break it down by category, person, etc. for any major holiday.
Project Planner Tab: This is what I use to plan out vacations, home improvement projects, parties, etc. Duplicate as many times as needed!
