Student budgeting that works.

Is your bank balance more confusing than your lectures? This is because all budgeting tools expect you to have a monthly paycheck, a boring job, and a predictable life. But student finances are more like a rollercoaster.One week, your loan comes in, and you're practically a millionaire. Next, you’re staring at a £4 balance and a 3-week gap until the next instalment. Your rent and your part-time income have a timetable of their own. Oh, and that number in your bank account? It doesn't have a clue whether you're sticking to that budget you set for yourself on September 15th.Existing budgeting tools are failing us. It's time to take this into our own hands.

How does it work?

1. Enter Details: Your bank balance, student loan amount, and accommodation cost. (Don't worry, we don't store your data!)2. Enter Target: How much money do you want to have at the end of the academic year? What's your risk tolerance until then?3. Get Your Safe Weekly Spend: What is your safe weekly spend? It's a weekly budget that will get you to your target.Sounds simple? That's the point! We do the maths for you, so making sense of your bank balance takes 10 seconds, not 10 hours.
