How It Works

Step 1: Enter your paycheck

Put in what you earn, what gets taken out in taxes and deductions, and what lands in your bank account. Starter Guide gives you a clear picture of where your money starts.

Step 2: Plan your spending

Allocate your take-home pay across the categories that matter — housing, food, savings, fun, and more. Each amount shows as a percentage of your paycheck so you can spot imbalances instantly.

Step 3: Send it to YNAB

One tap sends your budget plan over to YNAB, where it becomes a live spending guide. YNAB helps you stick to the plan — Starter Guide helps you build the plan.

Why Starter Guide

Built for people who want clarity, not complexity

No spreadsheets. No guessing. A simple, guided way to turn your paycheck into a plan.

Start from your paycheck

Unlike most budgeting tools that ask about expenses first, Starter Guide begins with income — because you can only spend what you actually earn.

See where your money goes

Every spending category shows its percentage of your take-home pay. Too much on rent? You will see it before you commit.

If you use YNAB, one tap sends your entire budget plan over. No manual entry. No editing spreadsheets. It just works.

Your budget syncs across all your devices so you can plan from anywhere.
