About

PayWindow

Features
Read full description

Most budgeting, expense tracking and savings planning apps assume everyone has a monthly pay window and is paid on the first of the month. If you're paid weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, or even monthly on any schedule that doesn't land on the 1st, that mismatch is exactly what makes budgeting feel harder than it needs to. PayWindow builds your budget around your actual pay schedule instead of the calendar. Every paycheck opens its own window โ€” what's coming in, what expenses are due before the next one, what you're putting away for savings and what's left over. Move a bill's due date or adjust an amount for one paycheck, and PayWindow recalculates every window forward automatically. No bank connection required. Everything is entered by you and stored on your device โ€” nothing to link, nothing to sync, nothing to hand over. Free to use: โ€ข Accurate weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, and monthly pay schedules โ€” no guessing, no drift โ€ข One income source and one savings goal, fully featured โ€ข Unlimited expenses, with weekly, monthly, quarterly, or per-paycheck recurrence โ€ข A visual breakdown of every paycheck โ€” tap any slice of income, expense or savings to see exactly where it's going Premium unlocks: โ€ข Multiple income sources โ€” track a second job, a spouse's income, or a side gig separately or combined โ€ข Multiple savings goals running in parallel, each with its own target date and catch-upstrategy, or a flat amount per paycheck Premium is $2.99/month, $24.99/year, or $79.99 once, with a 7-day free trial.
