About this template
Biweekly Budget Planner Excel — A budget built on the paycheck cycle: annual plan by category, spent so far, what is left, and how many months it has to last. Built for anyone who wants the whole picture on one page: what the goal is, what is actually there, and which line is quietly falling behind — without accounting software or a subscription app. If one line is underfunded, this workbook shows it while there is still time to fix it.

Budget Planner — Every budget line: annual plan, spent so far, remaining, percent used, a typical month, and months of runway left at that pace — by formula except the yellow inputs.
Spending Log — Every logged spending entry January-October: date, budget line, description, amount, and account, with running total and share of total by formula.
Monthly Plan — Month by month: planned spending, actual spending from the log by formula, the difference, and cumulative planned vs actual.
Category Summary — Budget lines grouped by type (needs, wants, savings): counts, plans, spent, remaining, and percent used — all by formula.
Dashboard — Total annual plan, total spent, remaining, percent used, typical month, and the lines with the most and least runway.
