Budgeting

How to budget when paid biweekly.

Biweekly pay is easier when each paycheck has a job before it lands.

Step 01

List bills by due date

Assign bills to the paycheck that arrives before the due date.

Step 02

Split flexible spending

Give each two-week period a visible spending lane.

Step 03

Use extra-paycheck months

Route third checks toward emergency savings, debt, or annual bills.
