Who this is for
- You want a month-by-month budget for all of 2027 that you set up once.
- You want planned vs actual for each category and your bills shown on their real 2027 due dates.
- You want a year summary of income, spending, savings and savings rate in Excel or Google Sheets.
Who it's not for
- Not for you if you plan by paycheck rather than by month. The Paycheck Budget Planner or 2027 Paycheck Calendar fits better.
- Not for you if you want bank sync or bill reminders. It's a spreadsheet, not an app; you type in what you spend.
- Not for you if you want financial or tax advice. It's a planning tool with example data.
Save with the kit
This sheet ($9 on its own) is one of the 3 in the 2027 New Year Money Kit, with the Year-End Review & New Year Budget Planner and the 2027 Paycheck Calendar: all 3 for $15 instead of $21 bought separately. If you already own one of the others, buying the rest on their own may cost less.
