Example
$100 a week on groceries: $100 x 4 = $400/mo
$90 water bill every 3 months: $90 ÷ 3 = $30/mo
$720 auto insurance every 6 months: $720 ÷ 6 = $120/mo
÷ 12 = $125/mo
Directions:
Record your income and all of your monthly expenses. For expenses that vary
month-to-month (such as utilities), use your average spending based on past month's bills.
Paychecks (i.e., salary after taxes, benefits and check-cashing fees)
Utilities (e.g., electric, gas, water)
Other food expenses (e.g., meal subscriptions)
Budgeting Worksheet
Setting a budget is a great way to relieve uncertainty and stress while also helping you to figure
out how to meet both your short-term and long-term financial goals. Use this worksheet to
calculate your monthly expenses and income to get an idea of what you have to work with, what
your commitments are, and what you have remaining to devote to your goals.
What if my income or expense isn’t monthly?
If you have income or an expense that occurs at a different frequency, be sure to make the
appropriate adjustment.

If your income is greater than your expenses, this is a budget surplus. Use this money to save
for goals and add to your savings account! If your expenses are greater than your income, this
indicates a budget deficit. Owing more than you are bringing in each month can make it
difficult to pay bills on time and may result in high-interest debt.

your budget, lower your interest rates, and pay off debt faster.
