Step 2: Record your income
Start by listing all your income sources under the "Monthly Income" section. This includes:
- Salary or wages
- Side hustles
- Passive income (investments, rental income, etc.)
- Any additional earnings
Use the columns to track the date, amount, and source of each income entry.
Step 3: List your fixed expenses
Fixed expenses are the bills and payments that remain the same each month. These may include:
- Rent or mortgage
- Utilities (electricity, water, internet)
- Insurance payments
- Loan repayments
- Subscription services
Write down each fixed expense under the "Fixed Expenses" section and note the amount.
Step 4: Track other expenses
Other expenses (also called variable expenses) change from month to month and may include:
- Groceries
- Dining out
- Entertainment
- Shopping
- Transportation
Use the "Other Expenses" section to log these purchases. This helps you see where your money is going and identify areas to cut back if needed.
Step 5: Calculate your total spending
At the bottom of the tracker, you will find spaces to record your total income, total fixed expenses, and total other expenses. Subtract your expenses from your income to see how much you have left over—or if you need to adjust your spending.
Step 6: Review and adjust your budget
At the end of each month, review your tracker:
- Are you saving money, or are your expenses higher than your income?
- Which categories take up most of your budget?
- Where can you cut unnecessary spending?
- Can you increase savings or allocate more funds to essential expenses?
Make adjustments as needed and set goals for the next month.
