What can you spend until payday?
Three quick steps, no signup. See your daily amount and which bills your next paycheck has to cover.

The problem
Sound familiar?
- You bought a budget spreadsheet. It had 14 tabs and a 40-minute tutorial. You never opened it again.
- Every month you type the same bills all over again.
- You're paid every two weeks, rent is monthly, and you never know which paycheck covers what.
- Your hours change, so your budget is wrong before the month even starts.
- The formulas broke, the file was "view only", or it didn't work on your phone.

Bills land on the right paycheck
UntilPayday reads every due date and assigns each bill to the paycheck that can cover it, with a couple of days to spare.
One number you can trust
"Safe to spend" shows what's left after bills and savings, plus how much you can spend per day until next payday.
Daily safe-to-spend notification
Every morning your number arrives as a notification on your phone or computer, at the time you choose. No app to open.
Nothing to re-type
Monthly, quarterly and yearly bills repeat on their own. Leftover money rolls into your next paycheck.
See a short paycheck coming
If a paycheck won't cover everything, you'll know days ahead and can move a flexible bill to the next check with one tap.
Switching from a spreadsheet?
Import your bills in one minute. Upload your CSV or Excel file, match the columns, done.
Savings on autopilot
Pick a goal and a date. UntilPayday works out how much to set aside from every paycheck.
Made for your phone

Variable pay
Hourly, tips, overtime, gig work? It works when your pay changes.
Plan with a realistic low paycheck. When you get paid, enter the real amount. Got more? Send the extra to a goal or a buffer. Got less? See exactly which bills to shift, before they're late.
