What it is
A budget system built for lumpy pay. It helps you find an income floor from your history, build a buffer, pay yourself a steadier amount, and plan bills around variable paydays.

Who it is for
Freelancers, gig workers, servers, creators and anyone whose pay changes month to month.

Exactly what is included
- Excel (.xlsx) file, importable into Google Sheets — the buyer guide explains the File > Import steps
- Excel (.xlsx) file in a ZIP, tested in Excel 2016+ / Microsoft 365
- 12-month income history tab with average and income-floor calculation
- Buffer target and lean-month draw planner
- Steady pay-yourself amount calculator
- Bill calendar mapped to paydays
- Quarterly tax tab
- Start Here tab and 3-month quick-start mode
- Worked example tab inside the workbook (with clearable sample data)

Formats and compatibility
Excel (.xlsx), importable into Google Sheets (free Google account required; the buyer guide explains File > Import). No macros. No bank sync. Use a computer for setup.

How it works after purchase
1. Buy the listing and download instantly from Etsy.
2. Open the included setup guide first — it tells you which file to open and which cells to type in.
3. Follow the Start Here steps, enter your own information, and use the built-in dashboard or checklist. Calculated cells are marked so you do not overwrite formulas.
4. Save your own copy. Your master download stays unchanged if you need to start again.

What it is NOT
It is not a bank app, it does not predict future income, and it is not financial advice. You must enter 6-12 months of income history for the full floor calculation, or use the 3-month quick-start mode. It does not track deductible business expenses — the quarterly tax estimate is on gross income — and it has no separate native Google Sheets copy link; the .xlsx imports into Google Sheets as described above.

Bundle / upsell suggestion
Bundle with the 1099 Bookkeeping Tracker as a Freelancer Money System, and add a paycheck and debt snowball add-on as an upsell.

FAQ
Q: What if my income is very irregular?
A: That is the point of this system. It starts from your actual history, not a steady paycheck, and builds a buffer for lean months.

Q: Do I need a full year of history?
A: No. A 3-month quick-start mode is included, and the floor improves as you add more months.

Q: Google Sheets or Excel?
A: Both. You get an Excel (.xlsx) file that also imports into Google Sheets (the guide explains import). This version has no live native Google Sheets copy link. Test the version you will use and follow the Start Here tab.
