Why a written budget matters
Small businesses are 99.9% of all businesses in the United States — 33,185,550 firms — and they employ 61.7 million Americans (46.4% of private-sector employees), according to the U.S. Small Business Administration's Frequently Asked Questions About Small Business (2023). A one-page monthly budget is the simplest control most of those firms can keep — and this one is built without handing your figures to a server. See also our profit and loss statement maker for the end-of-period view.

💶 Separate fixed from variable costs
Rent, insurance and subscriptions stay the same whether you sell or not; materials and fees move with sales. Keeping them apart shows which costs you can actually cut in a slow month.
📅 Budget monthly, review quarterly
A monthly budget catches a bad month early. Every quarter, compare the plan with your real bank figures and adjust the next three months — a budget nobody revisits is just a guess.
🧾 Match it to your invoices
Your income lines should trace back to real invoices. Pair this planner with our invoice generator so planned income and billed income stay in the same system.
💾 Keep one currency per budget
Mixing EUR and USD in one budget makes the totals meaningless. If you earn in two currencies, make one budget per currency.
Straight talk: limits
⚖️ A plan, not accounts
This planner adds up the figures you enter. It is not bookkeeping, accounting or tax advice, and it does not verify that your figures are complete.
📝 No bank connection
Nothing is imported automatically — that is the privacy trade-off. Enter figures from your bank statement by hand, and keep the statement as the source document.
🔤 Plain text only
The PDF uses a standard font for maximum compatibility, so unusual characters in names are simplified. Use standard Latin characters for the cleanest output.
Frequently asked questions
Is this business budget planner really free?
Yes — unlimited budgets, every field and PDF download, forever. No trial, no watermark, no account and no payment details.
What is the difference between fixed and variable costs?
Fixed costs stay roughly the same each month, like rent and subscriptions. Variable costs move with how much you sell, like materials, packaging and payment fees.
How do I know if my budget is healthy?
Income should cover fixed plus variable costs with something left over. A small surplus every month is healthier than a big surplus one month and a shortfall the next.
Can I plan in USD or GBP instead of EUR?
Yes — type any currency code in the currency field and use it consistently through the whole budget. Totals are simple sums in that currency; no conversion is applied.
Can I use this for a yearly budget?
It is designed for one month at a time, which is how most small businesses control cash. Make twelve monthly budgets and add their totals for a yearly view.
Where is my budget data stored?
Only in this browser tab while you type. The PDF is assembled on your own device — your income and cost figures are never uploaded.
What if costs are higher than income?
The totals show the shortfall plainly. That is the signal to cut a variable cost, chase an unpaid invoice, or move a purchase to next month — not a reason to hide the gap.
