Steps on how to use the Budget Tracker:
Step 1: In the projected Project Monthy Income section, enter the income you plan to receive. When your income comes in, enter it under “Income” in the Actual Monthly Income section. Note: Do not write into the Project Balance, Actual Balance, and difference, as those will contain calculations for your overall budget tracker analysis.
Step 2: Under each category (e.g. Housing, Transportation, Entertainment, etc.), for each expense, enter the amount you anticipate spending in the projected costs. Then enter the amount you spent in the actual costs for each expense. Note: Do not input in the difference column, as it will calculate the difference between projected cost and actual cost.
Step 3: Upon filling up all the projected costs and actual costs for each expense, you will be able to see the total projected cost, total actual cost, and total difference. The total difference will determine whether you’re budgeting behavior. If the total difference is positive, then you’re actually budgeting towards your goal. Otherwise, you’re budgeting behavior won’t satisfy you in reaching your budget goal.
