Financial Goals Planner
The Financial Goals planner include an annual and quarterly planning sheets (5 pages in total). The annual layout features specific sections for jotting financial goals and targets, along with the actions you’ll take to achieve them. You can use the dedicated rewards section to note the reward you’ll give yourself upon reaching your target, helping you stay motivated.
To use the financial goals planner, start by filling out the annual sheet to establish your overarching financial objectives. The template provides space to jot down up to 5 main financial goals for the year. Break down each goal into measurable targets you want to accomplish e.g. save $ 5,000 for a wedding or $ 2,000 credit card debt, etc. using the designated space. Breaking down your goals is essential to provide clarity on what you aim to achieve and to simplify progress tracking.
After completing the annual sheet, use the quarterly planner sheets (one page per quarter) to break down your annual financial goals into smaller, actionable milestones. Each sheet includes the following sections:
- Quarterly Targets (Tip: Align your quarterly targets with your annual goals when you write them down).
- Monthly financial focus areas and action steps
- Performance review for noting reflections, successes and strategies for the following quarter.
Annual and Monthly Budget Calendar
The Annual and Monthly Budget Calendar consists of two standalone templates. Use the annual financial overview template to enter a snapshot of your finances, which sets the foundation for your planning. The page includes sections to note starting debt and savings balances, as well as your projected income for the year. A designated space is also provided for recording how much debt you want to pay off, how much you aim to save and how much you plan to invest. These figures give you clear targets to work toward.
The monthly section of the planner includes dedicated spaces to log your income, expenses, debt paid, savings, and investments for each month. Fill out these fields as you move through the year to give you a snapshot of your finances over time. It also helps you in spotting trends such as spending spikes and monthly spending habits. At the end of the year, sum each variable so you can compare your actual totals against your targets.
Use the monthly financial calendar to break down your annual financial targets and to map out your activities to achieve them. The financial calendar includes fillable grids, where you can write daily accounts and activities.
Budget Tracker
The budget tracker includes two planner sheets: one for a Monthly Budget Overview, and the other for a Monthly Budget Planner. Use the Monthly Budget Overview sheet to summarize your budget for the month. The template includes a pie chart you can shade the percent spent, making it easy to track how you’re using your budget throughout the month.
The Monthly Budget Planner, on the other hand, is a comprehensive template that includes sections to record your starting balance, monthly budget, income, savings, bills, expenses, and debts. It also includes dedicated spaces for detailing each expenditure item, including the due date and actual amount spent. A distinct space for notes is also added for your reflections and budget annotations.
Debt Payment Tracker
Use the debt payment tracker to record your progress in paying debts and maintain control of your financial wellbeing. This planner template includes sections to record the creditor’s name, account number, total amount owed, due date, interest rate, goal payoff date, and minimum payment required.
Use the separate Credit Card Payment Plan to manage your credit card spending more effectively.
Income and Expense Tracker
The income and expense tracker sheets are designed to help you record and track income and spending habits in simple and organized format . The income tracker includes sections to log income streams as well as the corresponding date received, source of income (e.g. salary, work, investment, etc.), and the total amount.
The Expense Tracker, on the other hand, helps you manage your budget more effectively. A summary section is included for listing up to five major expense categories, along with your budget limit and amount spent. An over/under budget column is also added to help you identify which budget categories are on track and which may need adjustment, helping you make informed decisions about your spending.
Additionally, a detailed Expense Log Table is included, allowing you to record:
- Date – When the expense occurred.

It also includes a table which you can log and track your progress, with columns to specify the source of savings, date savings made, amount saved, and running balance.
The No-Spend Challenge Sheet is perfect for anyone aiming to reduce unnecessary expenses while working toward a specific financial goal. The sheet includes space to record your savings goal amount, starting balance, and running balance. It also features a blank calendar where you can shade or mark the days you avoided non-essential spending. Completing a no-spend challenge is a great way to reset your spending habits as well as to build greater financial discipline.
Bank Account Information Planner Sheet
Having multiple bank and credit card accounts is increasingly common, which is why we’ve included dedicated sheets for recording the details of each account. These pages help you stay organized by keeping all essential information such as account names, numbers, types, and institutions in one place. It’s a practical way to ensure you never lose track of your financial accounts or forget important details.
