A budget only works if you keep looking at it, so the best planner is the one you'll open every month. Some of these are full money workbooks, and others are simply a clear place to plan what comes in and goes out.

What to look for

  • What's tracked. Check that it covers what matters to you, such as debt, savings or irregular income.
  • Paper or screen. Printable pages suit a monthly sit-down, and spreadsheets do the sums for you.
  • Who it's for. Family budgets have room for shared costs that a personal planner may leave out.
