Whether you are managing your family finances or household finances using joint accounts (whether joint bank accounts, joint checking accounts) or individual separate bank accounts, the money management checkbook software is a great way to keep your finances in order, save money, pay down debt, and grow your net worth.
While the budgeting feature is set up for monthly budgeting, you can create custom pivot table reports of actual income and actual spending categories to produce daily reports, weekly reports, biweekly reports, quarterly reports, and yearly reports depending on how you get paid if you want to track your spending based on when you get paid (paycheck to paycheck reports). So if you get paid every two weeks, you can set up a biweekly report in the custom pivot table report to compare your actual income (salary, bonus, etc. ) that you earned in those two weeks vs your actual spending in those two weeks to make sure that you are not spending more than you made in your two week paycheck period.
The money management spreadsheet has monthly actual vs budget, calendar year actual vs budget and also the custom actual reports that include the ability to select custom time periods such as quarterly, specific consecutive months such as (Feb 2023 through April 2023), and non calendar year fiscal years such as Sept 2023 through Aug 2024. You just use the pivot table timeline to select time period range that you want and the pivot table reports are refreshed with the new data. Another report example that you can create with the money management software spreadsheet is having a calendar year report broken down in 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, and 4th quarter data, with subtotals for each quarterly period and a grand total for the full calendar year.
In the money management spreadsheet, using the custom Pivot Table reports, you can group categories and get subtotals of those grouping, thus creating a category and subcategory structure. For example, if you create a Pivot Table report and have the category expenses of car loan payment, car insurance, and car gas, you can group those 3 categories into a single main category called Auto Expenses and the pivot table report would produce a grand total for the main grouped category of Auto Expense and separate subtotals for car loan, car insurance and car gas. The Pivot table reports only apply to actual income and actual expenses and not budgeted amounts.
