About this template

A simple January money reset for UK households: three spreadsheets that work together, plus a short start-here guide.

  • A one-page monthly budget, with 4-weekly pay converted to a true monthly figure and Council Tax on a 10- or 12-month plan
  • A month-by-month bill calendar for 2026/27, so you can see when every bill leaves
  • A sinking-funds planner for the big annual bills, pre-loaded with the costs people forget

Every file opens with a worked example already filled in, so you can see how it works straight away. Type over the example numbers with your own. Built for Microsoft Excel (desktop or Microsoft 365); no macros or add-ins.

This is a self-directed budgeting tool, not financial advice.
