Helpful tips and tools to help you budget
Manage your spending
Consider setting up separate accounts for different types of spending. For example, you could have a ‘bills’ account for everything you need to pay in a month and a ‘spending’ account for the rest. Managing bills can be stressful, but with some help you can gain control of your payments.
Save spare money
Use our easy saving tips to help you reach your goals, reduce your spending and develop some new saving habits along the way. Use our savings calculator to reach your target or work out the future value of your savings
Pay monthly
Break down larger costs into smaller payments to make them easier to manage. Paying smaller amounts by Direct Debit each month is a more manageable way to pay for larger bills, such as car insurance and your TV licence fee.
Use our budget calculator
Keeping track of your income and spending can be difficult to manage sometimes. Our free budget tool gives you a full overview of what’s coming in and going out each month.
