Give Every Paycheck a Job Before You Spend It.
Build a paycheck-by-paycheck spending plan that shows which bills, expenses, savings goals, and spending categories each paycheck needs to cover.
No account required. Enter your numbers, run the cash-flow analysis, and identify potential paycheck shortfalls.
All upcoming obligations are covered.
Stop Budgeting by Month. Start Planning by Paycheck.
Monthly budgets can hide an important problem: your bills do not all arrive at the same time your income does. Paycheck Budgeting Pro breaks your plan into individual pay cycles so you can see what each paycheck needs to cover before you spend from it.
Add Your Paychecks
Enter your expected take-home pay and the dates your money will actually reach your account.
List What Must Be Covered
Add bills, minimum debt payments, groceries, transportation, savings goals, sinking funds, and other planned expenses.
Match Expenses to Paychecks
The tool helps assign upcoming expenses to the paycheck that needs to fund them based on timing and available cash.
See What Is Safe to Spend
After required allocations are covered, you can see how much money remains available until your next paycheck arrives.
Money in your checking account is not automatically available to spend. Some of it may already belong to bills and expenses due before your next paycheck.
Start With the Money You Actually Receive.
Add the paychecks you want to plan. Use your expected take-home pay — the amount that actually reaches your bank account after taxes and payroll deductions.
How often are you paid?
Starting cash available
Enter the cash currently available in the account you use for bills and everyday spending.
Add your upcoming paychecks
Start with the next paycheck you expect to receive. You can add additional paychecks to build a longer planning window.
Identify the Expenses Your Paychecks Must Cover.
Add your recurring bills, minimum debt payments, subscriptions, insurance premiums, housing costs, and other expenses with a known amount and due date.
Enter a bill or fixed expense
Bills added to your plan
Add the bills that need to be funded before your next paychecks arrive.
Plan the Money That Doesn't Come With a Bill.
Add everyday spending categories, sinking funds, and savings goals so your paycheck plan reflects more than just fixed bills. These allocations help show what your money needs to do before anything is considered safe to spend.
