What’s Included
- Income section — everything you brought in this month
- Fixed and variable expense categories — laid out side by side so you can see both at once
- A simple two-step calculation — add up your income, add up your expenses, and see your monthly gap or surplus right away
How to Use It
- Pick a start date for your month — it doesn't have to be the 1st, just whatever's consistent for you
- Fill in your income for that period
- Go category by category through your expenses
- Check your total at the bottom — that number tells you whether you're ahead, even, or behind
Why Track Month by Month
Some months are heavier than others — an extra bill, a slow month at work, an unexpected expense. Tracking one month at a time (instead of trying to average everything together) makes it much easier to spot patterns and catch problems early, before they turn into missed payments or new debt.
If this worksheet shows you’re regularly coming up short, that’s worth addressing directly — not just budgeting around. Our DIY Debt Payoff guide is a good next stop, or if the gap feels unmanageable, take a look at your debt relief options.
