Online Monthly Budget Planner

A quick monthly budget without opening Excel. Pick your currency, list the month's income and your spending categories with what you plan to spend and what you actually spent. The planner adds up fixed bills, everyday spending and money moved to savings, shows what is left over and your savings rate against your target, and gives you a tidy page to print or download as Excel or Word. Your household name, currency and target are remembered on this device; nothing is uploaded.

Tips

Questions and answers

Is my budget sent anywhere?

No. It is worked out in your browser. Your details and the current draft are saved only in this browser on this device; clearing site data removes them.

How is the savings rate calculated?

(Total income − Fixed − Variable spending) ÷ total income. Money moved to Savings categories and money left over both count as saved.

Can I use it outside India?

Yes. Choose your currency and date style; amounts are shown in that currency's usual format.

Does it give advice on how to save or invest?

No. It is a planning and record-keeping aid that adds up your own figures.
