Start with the bills you already know.

You do not need to fill all 72 pages at once. A calendar, bill tracker and income tracker give you a practical place to begin.

The PDF also includes spending and savings pages, budget worksheets, and bank and card records. Choose the pages that fit the month ahead.

For a separate one-page savings record, see the Monthly Savings Tracker in Letter and A4.

  1. Choose your pages.

    Print a monthly calendar, Bill Tracker and Income Tracker on US Letter paper. Add your own year and dates to the calendar.

  2. Write down what is coming up.

    List your bills and their due dates. Add those dates to the calendar so you can see the month together.

  3. Update the record as you go.

    When you pay a bill, note the date and amount paid. Record income by date and source on the Income Tracker.

Fictional worked example · USD

See how one month adds up.

Two paychecks and ten expense entries show how the Monthly Budget worksheet separates take-home pay, spending and the amount left unallocated.

  1. Start with take-home pay.

    Two paychecks of $2,000 after tax total $4,000. The Income table also shows $5,000 gross pay in its Amount column; do not add gross and take-home together.

  2. Total the recorded expenses.

    Fixed expenses are $1,830; other expenses are $800. The Other Expenses rows summarize the month by category, so their Date entries read Month.

  3. Work out what is unallocated.

    $4,000 − $1,830 − $800 = $1,370 unallocated. This is a remaining balance, not a recorded savings deposit.

Typed sample entries show manual use of the actual page 17 worksheet. The purchased planner contains blank, static pages; you write in your own figures and calculate the totals yourself.

How to read this example’s Recap

Goal is the plan; Actual is the recorded total. In this example, the Amount column means Actual minus Goal.

Take-home income
Goal $4,000 · Actual $4,000 · Amount $0
Fixed expenses
Goal $1,900 · Actual $1,830 · Amount −$70
Other expenses
Goal $1,100 · Actual $800 · Amount −$300
Unallocated balance
Goal $1,000 · Actual $1,370 · Amount +$370

The negative expense differences mean spending was below this fictional plan. The resulting $370 difference remains unallocated.

Complete Monthly Budget worksheet with fictional USD entries: $4,000 take-home income, $1,830 fixed expenses, $800 other expenses and $1,370 unallocated. Recap Amount is Actual minus Goal. Typed entries demonstrate manual use.
