A budget in pencil, not in ink

A budget is a draft. Rent goes up, a trip gets longer, the contractor's quote comes in higher. Pencil Budget is built for that: you write in your own numbers, change them whenever you need to, and see right away whether it still adds up.

Sharing a home with people who earn more or less than you? The household budget lets you decide per cost – rent by income, streaming in equal shares, the gym paid by whoever goes – and shows what each person has left.
