Key Features

Budget Planning & Management

• Allocate your income across main categories (Needs, Wants, Savings, Debt, Investments).
• Break categories into detailed subcategories for precise tracking. (i.e. Needs > Rent, Transportation, Utility Bills, Insurance)
• Set clear budget limits and monitor progress in real time.

Creating a 50/30/20 Budget Plan

With the 50/30/20 budgeting method, your income is split into three main categories: 50% Needs, 30% Wants, and 20% Savings/Debt.

1. Automatic Allocation – Enter your monthly income and let the template calculate the budget amount for each category.
2. Category & Subcategory Tracking – Break down each main category into detailed subcategories (e.g., Needs → Rent, Groceries, Utilities).
3. Budget Limit Monitoring – Use the “Remaining to Budget” and progress bars to ensure you’re staying within the recommended percentages.
