Who it's for

Teachers on 10-month contracts, nurses with base pay plus overtime, dual-income households with paydays that don't line up, and anyone paid on a schedule that isn't the 1st of the month. Not ideal if you are paid once a month or want an app that syncs to your bank.

Why it helps

For people paid weekly, biweekly, or semimonthly. Your monthly budget balanced, your checking account didn't. Until Payday shows the number that lives in the gap: what is safe to spend from your real checking balance until your next paycheck arrives.

What it does

  • Paycheck Plan: upcoming paychecks generated from your next payday and pay frequency; two incomes interleaved by date
  • Safe to Spend: a phone-friendly dashboard with one big number, built from your real checking balance
  • Bills assigned to the paycheck that pays them, automatically or by hand
  • Calendar view of paydays vs due dates for the month
  • Sinking funds per paycheck, with Gap / Summer and Insurance spike funds pre-built
  • Income Splitter: overtime, tips, and third checks get a job on arrival instead of inflating the number
  • Optional Transactions log with a weekly five-minute money check-in
  • Debt section: minimum payments feed the plan, with snowball vs avalanche estimates

What's included

One .xlsx workbook that opens with a filled example household (a teacher and a nurse with mismatched paydays). Yellow cells are yours, gray cells are formulas. No VBA, no Apps Script, no bank login. Plus a step-by-step setup guide PDF. Works in Google Sheets and Excel (also LibreOffice Calc).

Includes English, Spanish and French versions.

Every tab, with sample data

Real screenshots of each tab in the file, recalculated from the included sample data.

FAQ

Is this a loan or cash advance?

No. Until Payday is a spreadsheet. Not a loan, bank product, or advance. It never moves money and never connects to your bank.

Does it work if my partner and I are paid on different days?

Yes. Two incomes with different frequencies and dates are interleaved by date in the Paycheck Plan.

What do I get?

A download link right after checkout and by email, plus a step-by-step setup guide PDF. Spreadsheets are .xlsx: open in Excel, or upload to Google Drive and save as a Google Sheet.

Do I need a subscription or app?

No. One-time price. No macros, add-ons, or bank login.

Can I get a refund?

If a file doesn’t work, we’ll fix it. If we can’t, you get a refund within 7 days. Because these are instant digital downloads, there are no refunds for change of mind.

Is this financial or tax advice?

No. It is an informational tool. Results are estimates from the numbers you enter.
