Income and Expenses Worksheet This worksheet is designed to help you assess how much money you earn and how much you spend in different categories. This exercise is an important first step to address mortgage challenges you may face.
To find your gross pay, look on one of your paystubs.
Does your income change from week to week or month to month? Many people have some irregular, seasonal and one-time income. It may help you to write down how often you receive each item on this list.
On the next pages, you'll enter your monthly expenses. If you have a hard time calculating your monthly expenses, here are some strategies that have worked for other clients to track their spending:
Keep a spending log for 1 week. Keep a list of everything you buy during one week. At the end of the week, add up expenses in different categories.
– Or –
Track your spending with online banking. If you use a bank account, call or visit your bank to sign up for online banking. Most online bank apps show your spending in different categories.
– Or –
Read your bank statements line by line. Look closely at your last two months of bank statements, assign each expense to a category, then add your total spending in each category.
– Or –
Use the envelope method. Label a set of envelopes with different budget categories and amounts (housing, food, utility bills, etc). When you get paid, put the amount of cash in each envelope that you want to spend in that category during a week or month.
– Or –
Budget with apps. There are many budgeting apps that help track your spending across multiple accounts and cards. You can set your own budget, and the app will send you reminders when you're close to your limit. Remember to keep your personal account information secure when using financial apps and banking websites.
