Money, without the anxiety

What's coming in, what's going out, what's left over

Retirement income works differently — it comes from several places, on different schedules, and it has to last. This tracker puts every dollar in one view: guaranteed income, fixed bills, the flexible spending you actually control, and the cushion at the end of the month.

Set it up once, then a two-minute monthly check-in keeps it true. It even tracks the parts most budgets miss — irregular annual costs, sinking funds, and your withdrawal and RMD schedule.

The number that matters

What's left over — every month

Most budgets tell you what you spent. This one is built around the number you actually want: what's left after your guaranteed income covers the fixed bills — the room you have to enjoy this, and the early warning if it's tightening.

Good to know

Common questions

Is this built for retirement income specifically?

Yes — it's designed around fixed and variable retirement income (Social Security, pensions, annuities, withdrawals) rather than a paycheck, including a withdrawal and RMD tracker most budgets don't have.

Do I need Excel?

No. You get printable and fillable PDFs and an Excel version — use whichever you like. The PDFs need no software; the Excel file auto-totals if you prefer a spreadsheet.

How often do I update it?

Set it up once, then a two-minute monthly check-in. The Year at a Glance page shows the whole picture in one place.

What do I get?

An instant download — a printable PDF, a fillable PDF, and an Excel spreadsheet. Nothing is shipped.

Is there a retirement budget spreadsheet or template?

Yes — it includes an Excel spreadsheet with the math built in, plus printable and fillable PDF budget worksheets. Use a spreadsheet or a printable template, whichever you prefer.
