Budget and Cash Flow

This tool will help you develop a budget by analyzing your cash flow.

It makes good financial sense to create a budget each year and live within that budget. This tool will help you track your cash flow, develop your budget, and measure your progress against your budget. Enter your actual income and expenses in the cash flow column to see whether you have a surplus or deficit. Use the budget column to create an income/expense plan that will maximize your surplus or reduce your deficit. Each month, track your progress against your budget using this tool and the Monthly Spending Plan worksheet.
