PAYCHECK DASHBOARD AND CHARTS
Review cash available, planned allocations, unallocated cash, actual cash used, cash remaining and still-earmarked amounts for your selected paycheck. Four dashboard charts show category plans versus actuals, monthly income versus cash used, savings targets and balances, and selected-paycheck cash-use types. Monthly report adds two more editable charts.

PLAN AND TRACK EACH PAYDAY
Enter take-home pay, other actual cash income and opening carry-in. Plan expenses, debt and savings by category, then record each actual cash use once in Transactions. Allocations show the remaining plan and unpaid earmarks. Opening carry-in is existing cash, not new income. Cash remaining can include money earmarked for unpaid bills and transfers.

MONTHLY AND ANNUAL VIEWS
Monthly report separates new income, expenses, debt payments, savings transfers and unmapped cash use. Income is assigned by pay date; uses are assigned by transaction date. Future months remain blank and current-month totals stop at your selected review date. Annual plan compares your optional monthly plans with actual results.

BILLS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS
Keep dated bill occurrences, assigned paycheck IDs, paid status and due-date flags together. Review subscriptions, renewal dates and monthly cost equivalents for monthly, annual, weekly or quarterly cycles. These are manual reminders: marking Paid does not create a transaction, and the workbook does not send reminders, cancel services or make payments.

SAVINGS AND IRREGULAR EXPENSES
Track starting savings, matching Savings-category transfers, goal targets, balances and progress. Sinking funds links to those goals and divides the remaining amount by your entered remaining paycheck count for contribution planning. It does not create a second savings balance or guarantee results.

DEBT, NET WORTH AND RECONCILIATION
Keep manual debt snapshots and previous/current balance comparisons. Enter dated asset and liability totals in Net worth. Compare the calculated remaining spending-pool balance with your observed balance in Reconciliation before deciding the next paycheck's carry-in.

Download and unzip the package. Read the guide, explore the fictional Example, then make a working copy of Blank. Set your reporting year, review date and selected Paycheck ID. Cream cells are inputs; pale blue cells calculate. Correct entry-review flags before relying on totals.

PREPARED ROW LIMITS
100 paychecks, 500 allocations, 1,000 transactions, 100 bills, subscriptions, reconciliation and debt-history rows, plus 40 savings goals, sinking funds and net-worth snapshots. Dashboard charts display the first six listed categories and first four savings goals. Formulas stop at the prepared limits.

SOFTWARE AND SCOPE
Microsoft Excel desktop is recommended. No macros are required. Formulas, changes to inputs and exported native charts were checked in the authoring engine; native Excel and Google Sheets application testing was not performed. Google Sheets compatibility is not guaranteed. Currency is a label only and does not convert amounts or change dollar symbols. Use one currency throughout.

This is a manual cash-planning toolkit. It does not include bank feeds, automatic payments, tax calculation, interest accrual, payoff forecasts, investment recommendations or guaranteed savings. Debt and net-worth balances are manually entered snapshots. Use aliases and keep passwords and full account/card numbers out of the workbook.

The photos are styled previews based on the supplied files. Example names and figures are fictional, not spending recommendations. Devices, plants and styling props are not included.
