Budget by Paycheck — The Slime Budget Tracker (Excel + Google Sheets + Web App)

Most budgets are built for people who get paid once a month. You don't.

You get paid every two weeks. Some months two checks, some months three. Rent doesn't care, your subscriptions don't care, and the budgeting app that auto-charged you after the free trial definitely doesn't care. The Slime Budget is built around the way money actually hits your account — by paycheck.

You type in what you earn and how often it lands. You list your bills. Everything else calculates itself.

What it does for you

• Per-paycheck envelopes — splits each check into “reserve for the bills” and “actually yours,” and flags the months you get a 3rd paycheck (the ones that quietly build wealth).
• The 50/30/20 check — needs, wants and savings as a share of your income, with targets and an over/under flag so you can see the leak.
• Subscription audit — what your “it's only $12.99” habits really cost per year.
• Savings goals — target, saved, monthly set-aside, and how many months until you're there.
• Debt payoff — balance, APR and payment → your freedom date and total interest (handles 0% intro cards).
• Slime's Honest Take — plain-language coaching that rewrites itself based on your numbers. No shame, no hype.

What you get

• An Excel (.xlsx) workbook that also opens in Google Sheets — type in the highlighted cells; the rest auto-calculates.
• The interactive web-app version — one file, runs in any browser, saves to your own device.
• Sample numbers preloaded so you can see it working. Type over them and it's yours.
