Budget by paycheck

One clear number for every pay period.

If your money disappears between paychecks and you're never sure what's actually left to spend, this budget-by-paycheck system gives you one clear number for every pay period. Enter your take-home, plan each category to zero, and watch "left to spend" update as you go. Works in Excel and Google Sheets, with documented formulas and a start-here guide. Designed by a CPA, from Aurent.

Getting started

Aurent Paycheck — enter your take-home on the Paycheck Budget tab, set a Planned amount for each category until "Left to budget" hits $0, then fill in Actual as you spend. Excel or Google Sheets — see "Open in Google Sheets".
