  3. Print at 100% (Actual size) so the rows keep their height.

Frequently asked questions

How do I fill in a monthly budget planner?

At the start of the month, list your income sources and fixed costs, then write each bill with its due date. Give every spending category a budget. During the month, tick bills as you pay them and add up actual spending; at the end, fill in the difference and the totals at the top.

What is the daily ledger layout?

It is a household ledger in the style of Japanese kakeibo: 31 numbered day rows and columns for food, household, transport, social, medical and other, with a total column and a totals row. Boxes at the top hold income, fixed costs, savings goal and what remains.

Can I use a different currency?

Yes. Type any symbol up to four characters, such as $, €, £ or CAD. It appears in the totals boxes and amount columns. Leave it empty for no symbol.

Should I use this or the expense tracker?

The budget planner plans the month: income, bills and category budgets. The expense tracker logs individual purchases. Many people print one budget page plus a few expense tracker pages for each month.
