One budget, two people, zero awkward money chats. A couples budget spreadsheet built for UK couples, with fair bill splitting, 12 monthly budgets and a running "who owes who".
What's inside (18 tabs)
- Setup: both names, take-home pay, and how you split shared costs: by income, 50/50 or a custom split
- 12 monthly budgets: log your spending and see budget vs actual for every shared category, each person's share, personal spending and what you each have left
- Annual dashboard: your whole year at a glance, with charts
- Joint savings goals: what to save each month for a house deposit, holiday or emergency fund, and who puts in what
- Debt tracker: progress, months to clear, and snowball or avalanche order
- Settle up: log anything one of you paid for, and it keeps a running "who owes who" total
- Fun money for each of you, editable categories, and start in any month
Why couples like it
Fair, not just 50/50. The by-income split means you each pay the same share of your take-home pay. On £2,093 and £2,693, that's 44% / 56%. It also tells you exactly how much each of you should move into your joint account each payday.
Built for the UK: pounds, monthly pay, council tax and UK bills built in.
