Paycheck budget planner: bills, sinking funds and “safe to spend”
App + Excel · 5 languages included (English, German, Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian) · Instant download · One-time purchase, no subscription
Most budget planners think in calendar months. But money comes in weekly, every two weeks or mid-month – and in between come bills, subscriptions and refunds. In the end you ask yourself: how much can I actually still spend?
Budget & Payday Studio plans by your real payday and shows you one clear number: “Safe to spend” – what is really free after bills, buffer and savings.
Buy once. Use offline. No monthly subscription. 14-day money-back guarantee.
What Budget & Payday Studio does for you
- Budget by payday: weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly or monthly.
- “Safe to spend” = balance − upcoming bills − buffer − your savings.
- Income, expenses and refunds recorded in seconds. Refunds link to the original expense – your categories stay correct.
- Recurring bills set up once – the app plans them into every period.
- Category budgets: yellow from 85%, red when over budget. A clear donut chart shows where your money goes.
- Reports as PDF (period report and upcoming bills) for you or your accountant.
- Excel both ways: export everything as an Excel file with overview and charts, or import transactions from an Excel or CSV file.
- Share securely by QR code with your partner or accountant: everything, just the overview or the plan without amounts – revocable at any time.
- Your gift – sinking funds: vacation, car, holidays, emergency fund. Set a goal and a date, and the app works out the monthly amount.
Your data stays with you
No account, no bank connection, no cloud. Everything stays encrypted on your device. You enter your numbers yourself and keep full control.
Who it is for – and who it is not for
A good fit for anyone who wants to plan their money by their real payday – employees, couples, families and the self-employed with irregular income.
Not a fit if you expect an automatic bank connection or investment advice.
