My Money Plan

A budget helps you see what money comes in, what you need to pay and what is left. Start with your best estimate. You can change it as you go.

Start My Monthly Budget ↓

One month. One step at a time.

  1. Choose the month you want to plan for.
  2. Add the cash income you expect that month.
  3. Add your bills and spending. We will do the math.

Use monthly amounts. If you get paid more than once, add up the payments you expect during that month. Leave an item blank if it does not apply.

Your budget stays in this page. The worksheet does not send your entries to Elite or save them to an account. Print before leaving if you want a copy. Use “Clear My Budget” to remove your entries from the page.

1. Money coming in

Enter cash you can use to pay your bills.

2. Bills and spending

Enter what you expect to pay this month.

3. Money to set aside

This is money you plan to keep for later. Start with an amount that works for you.

SNAP: a separate food plan

SNAP helps pay for eligible food. It is not cash for rent or other bills, so we keep it separate from your cash budget.

SNAP left in your plan: $0.00

What can I do next?

Review your plan when a bill or your income changes. A monthly total does not show when bills are due, so write the due dates on your calendar too.

If your expenses are higher than your income, you have options to explore. Your care manager or a trusted support person can help you look at bills and find assistance.
