Budget your spending money
Start outside the app. Take what you earn, subtract the bills that never change — rent, insurance, subscriptions, loan payments — and whatever is left is your spending money.
Split that across the weeks in the month, and you have your weekly target.
Work it out with me — the same sum, one prompt at a time.
Bills don't belong in here
There is deliberately nowhere to enter recurring income or expenses. Those amounts are already fixed, so leaving them out keeps the app focused on the one number that actually moves: what you spent this week.
If money comes in mid-week — a refund, a gift, cash back — add it as an expense with a minus sign.
Share it with your partner
One budget can live on as many devices as you like, and they all stay in step.
Open Edit budget and create an invitation, then send the link. Whoever opens it joins this budget, and you will both see the same running total.
The link works once and expires after a week, so a forwarded one is harmless. The budget ID still works for older versions of the app, but it never expires — treat it like a password.
There is an app for both phones
This page works on the same budget as either app — same expenses, same total, in step within seconds.
- Weekly Spend for iPhone and iPad
- Weekly Budget for Android
Or keep using this page: add it to the home screen and it behaves much like an app. Apps has the details.
