Seller's description

Budget by paycheck. This Google Sheets paycheck budget planner shows which bills each paycheck must cover, what to set aside for savings and debts, and how much is safe to spend before the next payday. Works for one or two earners on different pay schedules.

━━━ WHAT YOU GET ━━━
• A START-HERE PDF with two "Make a copy" buttons:
– Ready-to-use copy for your own household
– Sample copy filled with a made-up household (the Reeds), so you can see how it works
• A step-by-step PDF guide (setup, every tab, FAQ, troubleshooting)

━━━ WHAT'S INSIDE (6 TABS) ━━━
PAYCHECK PLAN – pick a pay period
• Paychecks minus bills due, savings set-asides and debt payments, minus what you have already spent = safe to spend
• A list of the bills due in the period and a strip of your next 6 pay periods

PAYCHECKS – a year of paydays, filled in
• Pick each earner's pay frequency (weekly, every 2 weeks, twice a month, monthly) and first payday on Settings: the dates appear by themselves
• One or two earners; type Actual and Received as pay lands; type what you have spent so far from each paycheck
• Move a payday or add a paycheck any time

BILLS – up to 200 recurring bills
• Weekly through yearly, with next due date, days left and a Due soon flag; mark autopay bills

SAVINGS SET-ASIDES – what you put aside each month; the plan sets aside a share in every pay period

SETTINGS – each earner's pay frequency, first payday and typical pay, your monthly debt payments and how early to flag a bill

START HERE – a 5-step setup checklist and a color guide

━━━ PERFECT FOR ━━━
Individuals, couples and families paid weekly, biweekly, twice a month or monthly who want to plan every paycheck.

━━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━━
1. Buy and download the START-HERE PDF
2. Click a button while signed in to Google, then "Make a copy"
3. Open your copy and follow the 5 setup steps on the Start Here tab

━━━ GOOD TO KNOW ━━━
• Google Sheets only: you need a free Google account. This is not an Excel file.
• Works in any browser on a computer, tablet or phone. Setup is easiest on a computer.
• Nothing to install, no add-ons, no scripts, no bank connections: you type your own numbers.
• This planner does not track every transaction: you type what you have spent so far from each paycheck.
• The year of paydays covers 52, 26, 24 or 12 paychecks per earner; add more on the empty rows, or start a fresh copy.
• A planning tool. This is not financial, tax or legal advice.
• Screenshots show the sample copy with made-up data.
