How people use Budget Companion

Plan from a real starting point

Drop in your opening balance and projection start date to anchor the three-panel flow. The chart, ledger, and summaries keep that anchor as you model the month.

Capture every predictable flow

Use the income, monthly bills, yearly renewals, weekly spending, and one-off payment panels to log how cash truly moves. Due dates clamp to the right day so the projection stays honest.

Share a calm forecast

Once you hit recalc, the month-by-month ledger and balance chart update instantly. It's an easy screenshot or screen-share view when you need accountability with a partner.

Power notes

Things to know before you dive in

  • Fields auto-save to localStorage, so you can close the tab mid-edit without losing the plan.
  • Weekly spends are translated into actual calendar days using real weekday math instead of estimates.
  • Use the tabs (Foundation → Flows → Forecast) to work in short sessions instead of filling everything at once.
