The Only Budget That Lives With Your Calendar.
Finally — your money and your months in the same place.
Budgeting apps are great — until you want to see how your grocery overspend connects to the week you forgot to meal plan. The Polite Fish Finance Planner brings your financial tracking into the same pages as your daily life, so the picture is always complete.
This isn't a basic budget tracker. It's a comprehensive personal finance system: monthly income and expense budgets, named sinking funds with 12-month progress circles, a debt payoff tracker, bill due dates, and a net worth log that shows your progress across the year. Open the Design Studio, choose the Finance preset, configure your category names and color, and your planner generates in seconds — portrait or landscape, built for your financial goals.
A complete financial picture, every month
Most planners offer a budget page. This one offers a full financial system.
Monthly Budget Spreads
Income, fixed expenses, variable spending, and a running balance — laid out cleanly for every month of the year. Know exactly where you stand on any given day.
Named Sinking Funds
Car repairs, vacation, emergency fund, new laptop — name your funds and track them with 12 progress circles each. Watch your goals fill in month by month.
Debt Payoff Tracker
List every debt, set a target payoff date, and track your progress with a visual balance-over-time chart. Snowball or avalanche — this works for both.
Bill Tracker & Net Worth Log
Every recurring bill in one view with due dates and paid checkboxes. Plus a running net worth log to see how the full picture shifts over time.
Every page has a purpose
Clean, structured layouts that make financial tracking feel less like a chore and more like a practice.
Everything included
A complete financial tracking system inside a beautifully designed daily planner.
All of these pages are available in the Finance preset in the Polite Fish Planner app. Mix them with pages from other presets in the Design Studio.

Monthly Calendar + Weekly Spreads
Your financial pages live alongside your regular planning so context is always visible.
Bill Tracker
