Safe-to-Spend Calculator

Safe-to-spend is the amount you can spend each day without risking your ability to pay bills. It's calculated by subtracting your upcoming bills from available income, then dividing by days until payday.

Why Daily Budgeting Works Better

• Makes spending decisions easier in the moment
• Reduces anxiety about running out of money
• Prevents overspending early in the pay period
• Creates daily awareness of your finances

Tips for Staying Within Your Safe Amount

• Check your safe-to-spend amount every morning
• Track all purchases throughout the day
• If you go over one day, reduce spending the next day
• Build in a small buffer for unexpected expenses
• Celebrate days when you spend under your limit
