Spreadsheet-based household budgeting support

Understand what is coming in, what is going out, and what may be safe to spend.

Plain-English budgeting help for people paid weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly — including wages, Universal Credit, disability-related support, benefits, or mixed income.

What we help with

  • Matching bills to your pay cycle
  • Working out food, travel and essential costs
  • Seeing what needs kept aside
  • Creating a possible safe-spend figure
  • Updating the budget if income or bills change

Everything is worked on spreadsheet and calculated to the penny.

Simple, private, practical

Budgets that match how you actually get paid

A monthly budget does not always work when your money arrives weekly, fortnightly or four-weekly. We help lay out dates, bills and essentials so the budget reflects real life.

Weekly pay

Useful when bills are monthly but income lands every week.

Fortnightly pay

Helps split bills and essentials across two-week windows.

Four-weekly pay

Helpful when pay dates move against calendar-month bills.

Monthly pay

Designed to help money stretch across the full month.

Benefits or UC

Figures are treated carefully and privately, using actual payment dates and amounts.

Mixed income

For households with wages, benefits, disability money, child benefit or changing income.

How it works

From messy dates to a clearer household budget

Message privately

No need to post income, benefits or bills publicly.

Send details

Income, bills, dates, food, travel and essentials.

Spreadsheet setup

Your figures are calculated to the penny.
