About

Broke or Not

Features
Read full description

Broke or Not is a free, calendar-based budget planner that answers the question your bank balance can't. Not "how much do I have right now", but "after everything else has gone out, can I still afford this on the 14th of next month?" HOW IT WORKS 1. Set your starting balance Tell Broke or Not what you have today. That single figure is all it needs to begin projecting forward. 2. Add your income and expenses Enter one-off items and recurring ones — weekly, monthly or yearly. Salary, rent, subscriptions, loan instalments, groceries, school fees, a holiday you're saving for. Each entry gets a category, so you can see where the money goes. 3. Read the balance on any future date Every day in the calendar carries the balance you're projected to have on it — months or even years ahead. Tap any day to see exactly which entries produced that number. WHAT YOU GET • A running balance projected onto every future day • One-off and recurring entries — weekly, monthly or yearly • A category on every entry, with per-category totals for the month • Drill into any category to see the individual entries behind the total • Month totals for money in, money out, and what is actually left • Export your entries to Excel or PDF • Sign in with an email address WHO IT IS FOR Anyone paid on a schedule who has regular commitments to cover between paydays — rent or a mortgage, loan instalments, school fees, subscriptions. It is built for individuals and households planning their own money, not for businesses or accountants. FREE Broke or Not is free to use. There is no charge, no trial period that expires, and no payment card required to sign up. YOUR DATA Your entries are yours. Broke or Not does not sell your data and does not use it for third-party advertising. You can permanently erase your account and everything in it at any time from Settings, using Delete account.
