Why a Monthly Financial Summary Matters

Managing your finances isn’t just about budgeting—it’s about understanding where your money is going, celebrating financial wins, and making informed decisions. A monthly financial summary helps you review your income, expenses, savings, and financial habits, ensuring that you’re staying on track with your financial goals.

With a digital planner, tracking your finances becomes effortless. No more scattered receipts or forgotten expenses—just an organized system that helps you take control of your financial future.

How to Create a Monthly Financial Summary in Your Digital Planner

Step 1: Set Up a Monthly Finance Page

Start by dedicating a section of your digital planner to financial tracking. This could be a pre-designed finance template or a customized layout that works best for you.

Step 2: Record Your Income

Log all sources of income, including salary, side hustles, investments, or passive income. Create a simple table to track:

Date	Source	Amount	Notes
March 5	Salary	£3,500	Main income
March 10	Freelance	£800	Design project

Step 3: Track Expenses by Category

Break down your expenses into categories like:

✅ Housing – Rent/mortgage, utilities

✅ Food – Groceries, dining out

✅ Transportation – Gas, public transit

✅ Entertainment – Subscriptions, hobbies

✅ Savings & Investments – Retirement, emergency fund

✅ Debt Repayment – Loans, credit cards

Use a color-coded system in your digital planner to highlight different spending categories.

Step 4: Calculate Your Savings & Net Balance

Subtract expenses from income to see how much you saved. Add a savings tracker to keep yourself accountable.

• What financial changes will you make next month?
