Most “Canadian” budget templates are US sheets with the dollar sign left in. This one is built around how Canadians actually get paid and save: a plan for every one of your 26 paycheques, and your TFSA and RRSP room tracked against your CRA notice so you never over-contribute by accident.
What it does for you:
– Start Here — 5-minute setup: enter your take-home pay per paycheque and your TFSA / RRSP room from your latest CRA notice.
– Paycheque Planner — all 26 biweekly paycheques planned in advance. Bills, TFSA and RRSP come off first; Spending is what is left — decided before payday, not after.
– Registered Room — log your actual TFSA / RRSP contributions and Room Left updates itself, flagging red if you go over your room. (Room figures are the ones YOU enter from CRA — the sheet never guesses them.)
– Expense Log — log everyday spending once; the monthly picture builds itself.
– Monthly Budget — zero-based monthly budget with Actual filled automatically from the Expense Log, for a monthly sanity check alongside the paycheque view.
– Dashboard — room left, paycheques logged, and spending at a glance, every month.
– Monthly Summary — 12 months of budget vs actual in one view.
– Sample rows pre-filled so every formula works the moment you open it; formula cells are locked (password disclosed in Start Here) and every formula is error-wrapped.
