Monthly Bill Tracker
Catch every recurring charge before it catches you.
Text Size
Recurring charges are the quietest money you spend. A tab per month, every bill with a due date beside it, and the ones you forgot become visible the first time you fill it in.

What This Workbook Does
- A tab for January and a second covering February through December, so a full year lives in one file.
- Bill, balance, due date, amount due and amount paid on every row.
- Enough structure to catch the subscriptions, the quarterly bills and the annual premiums that a monthly budget usually misses.
How to Use It
- List every recurring charge, including the quarterly and annual ones. Those are the ones that break budgets.
- Put the due date beside each. Late fees are the most avoidable money you will ever spend.
- Fill in amount due and amount paid as the month runs.
- At the end of the first full year, read back the annual and quarterly rows — that total is usually the surprise.
What It Will Not Do
This is a record, not a forecast. It tells you what you are paying and when; deciding what to cut is a separate conversation.
