Stop guessing from your bank balance. Estimate what’s left of this paycheck with the same math Budgey Auto uses live.
Who it’s for
Anyone mid-pay-period who wants a calm yes/no before they spend.
Honest formula (Auto-aligned)
what's left = take-home for this period + carry-in − posted spend in this period
| Input | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Take-home | Net paycheck for the period that contains today |
| Carry-in | Amount rolled from last period (use 0 if none / first period) |
| Posted spend | Purchases that posted since this period started (not pending-only) |
Period rule: starts on payday, ends the day before the next payday, and should contain today.
What’s left of your paycheck
Same math Budgey Auto uses live. You enter the numbers.
What’s left of your paycheck
—
Estimate only. Budgey Auto updates this from your real money when you connect.
- Manual estimate only — does not sync bank
- Posted spend in the period containing today (payday → day before next)
- Not plan-review “Unassigned from your paycheck”
- Not live Auto until they connect
Worked example (example data — not a claim)
Take-home $1,600 · carry-in $0 · posted spend $277.83 → $1,322.17 left of your paycheck.
Honesty caveats (must stay on page)
- This is a manual estimator. It does not sync your bank.
- It matches Auto’s top number shape: income + carry − posted spend — not pending authorization timing gymnastics.
- It is not “Unassigned from your paycheck” (plan-review: take-home − category plan).
- Schedules differ (weekly / biweekly / semimonthly day-pair / monthly). You pick the period that contains today; Auto infers it from real deposits.
