Larder on iPhone: the plan screen showing $725.18 left to spend, envelope cards for rent and utilities, and the spending breakdown

Money planned on payday, not chased afterwards

The plan

Every envelope is a decision you already made

Payday splits into envelopes before anything is spent. Groceries, gas, the trip you are saving for — each one holds a number you set, and you can see it drain in real time instead of finding out at the end of the month.

  • Fixed, spending, saving and debt
  • Fills on payday
  • Empty means empty

The check

One number, and you can trust it

Because the bills were set aside on payday, what is left really is left. Larder tracks the pace against your payday, so “you have $725” also tells you whether that is ahead or behind.

  • Pace against payday
  • Compared to your own months
  • No forecast you did not ask for

what the 100-envelope challenge adds up to

What a printable leaves out

8 bills 26 bills

A chart tells you an envelope holds $347. Eight bills, if it were one lump. Split across five envelopes it takes twenty-six, because every envelope has to come out exact on its own — and no printable works that out for you.

Try the math first

These run the same calculations Larder does. No account, nothing saved, nothing to install.

How this kind of budgeting works

Plain answers to the questions people actually type.

Give your next paycheck a job

Set up the envelopes once. Every payday after that reuses the plan you already made.
