💬 Frequently Asked Questions

How does the weekly allowance actually work?

Enter your total income and fixed costs for the semester, plus how many weeks it covers. The planner divides what's left by your number of weeks automatically, so you always know exactly how much you can spend this week.

Does it work with Google Sheets and Excel?

Yes. Every purchase includes both versions, so you can use whichever platform you prefer.

Can I use my own currency?

Yes. You can change the currency symbol in seconds without affecting any formulas or calculations.

Does this help me pay off my student loans?

No, the Loans sheet is an awareness list only, your loans, amounts, and interest rates in one place, not a payoff calculator or amortization tool. For payoff planning, check out our Debt Payoff Planner instead.
