Clueless Budgets Made Easy

posted in budget, calculator, tools |

I came across this Spending Plan Online Calculator from Crown Financial Ministries which assists in setting up a budget - you enter your yearly salary, tithe, and taxes, and it spits out a budget. I came across this on either Google or another blog, sorry I can’t remember which!

An *excellent* tool in starting up a budget. I’m using it as a basis for a spreadsheet to help share the state of our finances with my wife (she’s the pen-and-paper budgeter, I’m all about Excel/Quicken - and possibly Mint, once the Beta opens up!)

It’s a very good *start* of a budget - it breaks it down by percentages. What I did was plug it into Excel and start comparing my expenses to it’s assumptions - I’ll update it the beginning of March to see how we did!

EDIT: Actually, there are quite a few good tools on the site! Visit and click around!

    Sorry, it went from “draft” to “published” before the changes I made to it were finished - link added, spelling checked :-)
