We encourage having a monthly budget that begins on the first of the month. This is based on principles taught within Financial Peace University.
EveryDollar does not currently have a feature that allows for changing the month’s start dates. No worries!
As a part of EveryDollar Premium, you will have access to Paycheck Planning which will help as you budget an irregular income outside the confines of the 1st to 31st. Scheduling your paychecks with that feature will help when budgeting with an irregular income.
We also have a function called Funds. This helps folks save up for expenses that may occur every once in a while (i.e. quarterly, annually, semi-annually, etc.). It allows users to save up for these expenses while the balance automatically carries into each subsequent month for easy tracking. Read more about that here:
