The last 20% is all human judgment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add bills that are not monthly?

Does the calendar update automatically?
The calendar layout is pre-built for each month. Enter or adjust bill due dates in the bills list and they appear on the corresponding calendar day.
How do I handle variable bill amounts?
Enter your best estimate for variable bills like utilities or credit cards. Update the actual amount when the bill arrives.
Can I see multiple months at once?
The calendar shows one month at a time. Duplicate the calendar sheet for additional months or scroll through the bills list to see all dates.
