Paycheck-to-Paycheck Debt Payoff Planner

The Paycheck-to-Paycheck Debt Payoff Planner is a Google Sheets template that budgets by paycheck instead of by month: it shows which paycheck pays which bill, how much is safe to spend until the next payday, and the fastest way out of debt with snowball and avalanche side by side. It's for people living paycheck to paycheck, paid weekly, biweekly, twice a month or monthly. It costs US$9.

FAQ

Questions about the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Debt Payoff Planner

Do I need Excel or formula skills?

No. You only type in the green cells; formulas are protected.

I'm paid every 2 weeks. Does it handle months with 3 paychecks?

Yes. It flags them as bonus paychecks.

I have no savings. Will it still work?

Yes. Your buffer starts at $0 and grows a little each paycheck.

Does it work in Canada?

Yes. Pick CAD in Setup.

Is this financial advice?

No. It's a planning tool; interest is estimated monthly, so real statements will differ a little.
