Cómo usar esta plantilla de 80/20 Budget
Enter your income
Type your monthly after-tax income at the top. The template calculates the 80% spending limit and 20% savings target automatically.
Track total spending
Record all expenses in the spending section. The template focuses on total spending rather than detailed category breakdowns.
Verify your savings

Preguntas frecuentes
Why only two buckets?
The 80/20 approach simplifies budgeting to one rule - save 20% and spend the rest however you need. It is designed for people who do not want detailed category tracking.
Do I need to categorize my expenses?
No. The template tracks total spending against the 80% limit. You can add categories if you want, but the core design does not require them.
Can I change the savings percentage?
Yes. The percentage fields are editable. Adjust the split to 85/15, 75/25, or any ratio that fits your situation.
Where does debt payment go?
Minimum debt payments are part of the 80% spending bucket. Extra payments beyond minimums can go in the 20% savings bucket since they build net worth.
