About this item

A paycheck-by-paycheck budget for a couple paid twice a month. It has 6 tabs: Start Here, Dashboard, Paychecks, Bills, Bill Calendar, Settings. The Dashboard with 3 charts shows your next paycheck, how many upcoming checks cover their bills, what is left after bills over the next 30 days ($2,570 in the sample data) and what is due in the next 7 days, with a doughnut of bills by category and the bills and leftover for each paycheck. List your upcoming pay dates and your recurring bills with their due day; each bill is matched to the check that comes before it is due, and every check says Covered, Tight or Short in words. The Bill Calendar shows the next 8 weeks of bills. You get two files: one with sample data so you can see it working, and a blank copy with the same formulas. Nothing is password-locked. Made for Excel (XLSX).
