Money Monkey

Financial Planner

Use your planner to help you calculate, track and manage your money. Your planner enables you to track your weekly, fortnightly, monthly or annual expenditure and income. Simply enter the details of your outgoings and income into your planner. You can then find out what your total expenses are for a specific period and what you have left over (your surplus).

These details are not stored by Money Monkey and remain confidential to you. You can download the information you have entered into an Excel worksheet, so it's easy for you to refer to 'Your Planner' from your desktop.

Monkey's Tips

Contact your power company and ask what their energy (and cost-saving) tips are. Switching to off-peak rates may help you save money and monthly payments can help make winter power bills more manageable.
