Bi-weekly pay period blank Excel budget form06/18/07Bi-weekly pay period blank Excel budget formBack in February, I promised a bi-weekly version of my Excel budget form. Now it is available in two juicy flavors: It is very much like the paper budget forms provided by Dave Ramsey. Column B is the category, and columns C-E are how much you have budgeted for that pay period. Place a 1 in the first cell of each column to activate that pay period, or put in a 0 if the pay period is still in the future. That will affect the amounts in the green column. Column F in the auto-calculated total budgeted for the month. Column H is how much you have spent so far this month, so at the beginning of the month these will be all zero. Now column H is all formulas, since I didn't want to do math every time I wrote a check. So if you look at the second sheet "Actuals" you see a similar chart showing the same first columns. Starting in column D, you can just enter one check per cell. So for example if you have spent $5, $20, and $15 on food, go to the food line and put 5 in column D, 20 in E and 15 in F etc. The total will automatically show up on the "Budget" sheet in column H. Column I is simply a formula letting you know how much is left in that "envelope" for that category: i.e. Budgeted(F) - Actual(H). The balances at the bottom are just for checking your math: Balance F should always be zero if your budget is balanced. Balance H should be exactly the same as the balance in your checkbook. Balance I should be the same as Balance H but reversed. If it is not, then there is a broken formula in the spreadsheet somewhere. The tables on the right side: The next table is the debt snowball table. The first column is the name of the debt, then the original amount, which is not really needed except that when you call in to scream "I'm debt free", Dave will ask you how much debt you paid off, and if you didn't write it down you won't know. The next column is how much the current principle balance on that debt is, and then you have a nice little percent. The Upcoming table is a list of infrequent bills that I always forget about. I don't think that Dave has a form for this, but I needed it so that I remember to save up for big annual bills like car registration or quarterly insurance payments. The next section in the black box, is what I call the motivating statement. It is what encourages me to keep going, when I can look at the budget taped to the side of the fridge and see in huge letters: "We saved $3,963 and paid off $16,883 in debt" it keeps me focused on the goal.

I just wanted to say a quick thank you for the budget sheet. I'm one year out of college and my credit is a mess. I'm on a spending diet and your template saved me a good long time on the computer!
Thanks for the blank budgets! I made one in excel but your looks so much nicer. Nice job.

Thank you for sharing! I just started to program and this will be of great help. I work with Excel a lot, but you did way better than I did.
Hi Jeremy, thank you so much for these two spreadsheet, you rock bro. I am also going through FPU right now and am amazed of all things I didn't know and should before getting in so much trouble.
Question, do you have a weekly pay period spreadsheet? Me and my wife get paid every other week, but we intercalate, so every week there's money coming in for our household. Thanks again, God Bless! Jose.

It's only a small change to add more columns to make it weekly. I'm sure you'll figure it out.
your bi-weekly formulas are not working properly. I like the layout but how do you get it to work? in some of the formulas there is an Fcolumn where is it/ help
Please make a weekly budget for I need help!
