Planning tool / annual bills calculator
Use this page to make annual expenses visible before they arrive, then turn them into manageable weekly, fortnightly, or monthly amounts.
annual expenses / 52 = weekly amount. annual expenses / 26 = fortnightly amount. annual expenses / 12 = monthly amount.
If annual costs total $3,600, the target is about $69 per week, $138 per fortnight, or $300 per month.
Include bills that are easy to forget because they do not arrive every pay cycle: insurance, annual subscriptions, car costs, rates, gifts, holidays, or school expenses.
Include holidays if you want them funded gradually instead of paid from whatever happens to be in the account at the time.
A sinking fund is money set aside gradually for a known future expense.
