Paycheck Budget Planner Excel Template

When you're paid every other Friday, the real question isn't your monthly budget; it's which paycheck pays the rent. This paycheck budget planner builds your pay calendar, assigns each bill to the paycheck that must cover it, and warns you before payday if that paycheck will come up short.
It handles weekly, every-two-weeks, twice-a-month and monthly pay for one or two earners. Every bill is also divided among the paychecks that arrive before it's due, which shows how much of today's paycheck to set aside, and a left-to-assign line helps you give every dollar a job for a zero-based budget.
Ten tabs include the paycheck planner, a period summary, 40 bills, an 800-line transaction log and 12 sinking funds that show the pay date that finishes each one. You get a blank workbook, a sample file with a fictional year and a quick-start guide, for Microsoft Excel 2010 or newer on Windows and Mac.
