What's inside
The 'unexpected' expenses that wreck monthly budgets are almost all expected — you just forgot to plan for them. This planner fixes the forgetting.
14 pre-filled categories
Christmas · car maintenance · home repairs · insurance · property tax · vacation · birthdays · back-to-school · medical · subscriptions · emergency buffer · pet vet · new tires · software renewals. Plus 2 blank rows for your custom categories.
Annual ÷ 12 = monthly
Dedicated column for the monthly amount (annual cost divided by 12). This is the number you actually save each month — the calculation made explicit.
Current balance tracking
Track how much you've saved in each fund right now. See which funds are ready for their upcoming expense and which need more attention.
Target date column
When is each expense actually due? Christmas = December. Car reg = March. Property tax = April. Knowing the date orders your monthly funding priorities.
The Concept callout
Top callout explains the whole method in one sentence: divide annual costs by 12, save monthly, never surprised. Onboarding built into the design.
Indigo + bronze
Deep indigo with warm bronze accents. Systematic magazine aesthetic — reads as a real financial tool, not a novelty planner.

Print + review categories
Cream cardstock preferred. Review the 14 pre-filled categories — cross out any that don't apply, add your own in the 2 blank rows.
3
Fill annual + monthly
For each category, fill Annual $ (what it costs per year) and ÷12 monthly (annual divided by 12). Add current balance if you already have partial funds.
4
Add to monthly budget
Sum all monthly amounts. That's your total sinking-fund line — add it as one line to your monthly zero-based budget. Fund automatically each month.
Frequently asked
Is this really free?
Yes, free forever for personal use. No email required.
What paper works best?
Cream cardstock, 65-80 lb, matte finish for the most premium result.
One savings account or many?
One account + paper tracking (simpler), or multiple sub-accounts (more visible). Both work.
What if I can't afford the total monthly amount?
Prioritize high-consequence, imminent funds first. Partial funding > no funding — even $10/month for Christmas beats $0.
How is this different from a savings goal?
Savings goal = one target. Sinking fund = ongoing monthly recurring.
