Who this paycheck budget planner is for

This planner is for people paid weekly, biweekly or on irregular dates who find monthly budgets confusing. It suits hourly workers, freelancers with uneven income, and families juggling two pay schedules. Budgeting by paycheck makes it clear which bills each check must cover. It is also a great fit for anyone who keeps running short in the last few days before payday.

How to use your paycheck budget planner

Mark your pay dates on the pay calendar. List every bill and assign it to the paycheck that falls before its due date. For each check, fill in a paycheck budget: income, bills, savings and spending money. Track spending as you go so nothing runs short before the next payday. Record how much you saved from each check, and review the month on the overview page.
