How Do You Use A Budget Template? 

Regardless of how many free worksheets you find, remember that personal finance is more than just numbers. Budget planning printables can help you track your expenses and income, but they won’t do much good if you don’t use them with a plan.

Identify your net income: How much money you make minus taxes and any other deductions. It includes your main income, your side income, and any other income received.

Track your expenses: Next step is to track your expenses. Write down your fixed expenses and variable expenses.

You won’t realize how beneficial this is until you start keeping track of your money correctly.

Calculate the difference: Subtract your expenses from your income. This is the amount you have left to spend on monthly expenses.

Set your financial goals: Once you’ve determined how much money you have available to spend on monthly expenses, set your financial goals. Be it a car payment, mortgage payment, or emergency savings fund.

Make a monthly plan and trim down expenses: With your income and expenses set, you can make a list of how much money should be coming in each month for bills.

Trim down where you can and re-evaluate your financial goals. Use printables challenges or tracker sheets to keep yourself on track.

Track your goals: Track your spending for a month or two to ensure that you’re sticking with your budget plan.

Set aside a few minutes each week to fill out your budget sheet for the previous week and establish the habit of recording everything down.
