Built for irregular income
If your paycheck is never the same twice, this is for you.
Simple Budget powered by FortuneTell is built for people who think in weeks and gigs, not monthly budgets. It's designed for the exact problems 80+ freelancers, gig workers, and solopreneurs told us about.
WHY MOST BUDGET APPS FAIL HERE
Why traditional budgeting tools break with irregular income
- • Monthly-first budgets assume predictable pay. Irregular income doesn’t follow calendar months.
- • Spending trackers show history. They don’t project your future balance.
- • Spreadsheets can work, but only with constant manual recalculation.
Simple Budget powered by FortuneTell answers one question: will I run out of money — before it happens.
Core features
See problems before they happen.
Every screen answers one question: "Will I run out of money?" The answer is a number (days), not advice or categories.
Days of cash remaining
Stop guessing if you'll make it to Friday. See the exact day your balance hits zero if nothing changes, and watch that day shift as you adjust your plan.
Future gigs and invoices
Add work the moment it's planned, not when it pays. See how each job, invoice, or shift changes your runway so you know whether to take more work or rest.
Weekly, not just monthly
Most cash crises happen inside the month, not at the end. Simple Budget powered by FortuneTell shows week by week so you see tight weeks coming and can adjust before they hit.
