Aperçu

Comment utiliser ce modèle Zero-Based Budget
Enter your income
Add all income sources at the top. The remaining-to-assign balance starts at your total income and counts down as you allocate.
Assign every dollar
Distribute income across fixed expenses, variable spending, savings, and debt payments until the remaining balance reaches zero.
Track the balance
Watch the remaining-to-assign field. When it hits zero, every dollar has a purpose. A negative number means you have over-allocated.
Reconcile at month end
Compare planned allocations to actual spending. Adjust next month based on where you overspent or underspent.

Questions fréquentes
What does zero-based mean?
Zero-based budgeting means assigning every dollar of income to a category - spending, saving, or debt - so the unallocated balance reaches exactly zero. No money is left without a purpose.
What if I have leftover income?
Assign the remaining amount to savings, an emergency fund, or extra debt payments. The goal is for the remaining-to-assign field to show zero.
Can I use this for irregular income?
Yes. Enter your expected income for the month and allocate from there. If income varies, update the total when you know the actual amount and reassign categories.
How do I handle unexpected expenses?
Add a miscellaneous or buffer category in your allocations. When surprise expenses come up, deduct from that category to keep the budget balanced.
