How to Track Monthly Bills on One Page (Printable Method)

A one-page bill tracker answers three questions at a glance: what's due, when, and whether it's paid. You don't need an app, just a page you look at every week.

The columns that matter

• Bill (rent, electric, phone, insurance, subscriptions)
• Due date: sort the list by this, not alphabetically.
• Amount: for variable bills, write last month's figure in pencil.
• Autopay? A Y/N column keeps you from double-paying.
• Paid: a checkbox plus the date.

Setting it up

1. Pull your last two bank statements and list every recurring charge. Most people find at least one subscription they forgot.
2. Order the list by due date.
3. Group bills into two pay periods if you're paid twice a month.

The monthly 10-minute review

On the first of each month, copy the list to a fresh page, update amounts, and cancel anything you didn't use. Keep old pages in the File folder from our 4-folder paper system.
