In short
What is this?
A monthly budget planner lists planned spending by category against income so you see remaining cash or overspend before the month starts. This tool stays in the browser; nothing is saved until you track expenses in an app.
How to use this planner
- Enter monthly take-home income.
- Add a row per category (rent, food, transport, …) with a planned limit.
- Watch planned total and remaining update as you type.
Plan vs actual
Planning is the ceiling. Actual spend only moves when you log expenses. In expenie, each category budget is per calendar month so history stays exact — no silent rollover.
FAQ
- Does this save my budget online?
- No. Values stay in this browser session. Create a free expenie account if you want month-scoped category budgets and real spend progress.
- Can I add as many categories as I want?
- Yes in this planner. Free expenie accounts have a tight budget-category cap; Pro removes Free limits.
