Why per payday matters
A monthly budget assumes all your money arrives at once. It doesn't. Rent is due on the 1st, and you get paid every second Friday.
Payday Bill Planner assigns every bill to the payday that has to cover it. Each pay shows the figure that matters: available this pay. Two incomes can share one household plan or stay separate.
When EveryDollar is the better choice
If you want to pay nothing at all and you're happy to plan month by month, the free version of EveryDollar costs nothing. If you want your bank transactions pulled in for you, Premium does that. Our apps never connect to a bank.
If you want a planner you pay for once, that keeps your numbers in your own browser, and that thinks in paydays, try ours.
