Your SmartDollar benefit includes access to EveryDollar Premium, including the Paycheck Planning feature.
Paycheck Planning helps you decide what each paycheck should cover before you spend the money. Instead of waiting until payday to decide where your money should go, you can create a plan ahead of time and make sure each paycheck has a purpose.
Why it helps
A monthly budget shows where your money needs to go for the entire month. Paycheck Planning helps you decide which expenses should be covered by each paycheck.
It can help you:
- Assign expenses to specific paychecks
- Plan cash flow between paydays
- See what each paycheck needs to cover
- Make your monthly budget easier to manage
