Is there a free printable savings challenge chart?

Yes — there are 34 on this page, covering 17 challenges in two formats. Each one prints straight from the browser — nothing to download, and no email address. What is different about them is not that they are free, which most are: it is that the amounts are computed rather than transcribed, so each chart adds up to exactly the total it states.

What size are the A6 binder inserts?

A6 is 105 by 148 millimetres — 4.1 by 5.8 inches, a quarter of an A4 page, and the size most cash-envelope binders take. The cards here print 4 to a sheet of US Letter, so you do not need A4 paper to end up with A6 cards.

Are the amounts on these charts correct?

They are computed from each challenge when the page is built, rather than typed in once, so every chart adds up to exactly the total it states. Charts that circulate as PDFs are transcribed by hand, and the arithmetic they get wrong travels with every copy.

Not saving to a number? The 30-day no-spend tracker works the other way round — you write in what you did not spend.

Why these add up

Each chart is generated from the challenge itself, so the deposits sum to the stated total to the cent. That is not a given. A chart typed once and shared as a PDF carries its mistakes into every copy, and the part they all leave out is the part that takes the longest by hand.

A6 is 105 × 148mm

Which is 4.1 by 5.8 inches, a quarter of an A4 page, and what most cash-envelope binders take. The cards print 4 to a sheet of US Letter and cut on the dashed lines, so you do not need A4 paper to end up with A6 cards.
