Apps like Wallet: Budget & Money Manager solve a real problem: most people have no idea where their money actually goes each month. The trouble is that seeing the picture usually means creating an account, linking a bank, and filling out a setup wizard before you get a single useful number. We built Budget Board, a free budget planner that runs right here in your browser. Move a slider and the chart, the remaining-to-save number, and the on-track status update instantly. No install, no signup.
Use Budget Board now
It opens with a working example already loaded: a $3,200 income against five common categories. Drag any slider to match your own numbers.
How to use it
Set your monthly income with the top slider, then adjust each spending category below it, either by dragging its slider or tapping the plus and minus buttons. The donut chart redraws as you go, each wedge sized to match a category’s share of your income, with the last slice showing what is left over. The center number is your remaining-to-save total, and it moves live with every change rather than waiting for a button press.
Rename any category, and use “Add category” to add more, up to eight, or delete a row with the trash icon. A status pill reads “On track,” “Close to limit,” or “Overspending,” and a separate verified badge appears only when you are comfortably under budget. Everything is saved on your device only. Reloading the page brings back exactly where you left off.
How it compares to Wallet: Budget & Money Manager
Budget Board does one job: it turns a monthly income and a handful of spending categories into a chart you can actually feel move. Wallet: Budget & Money Manager is a full personal finance app. It links directly to bank accounts, tracks individual transactions as they happen, supports multiple currencies and wallets, handles recurring bills and scheduled payments, and syncs your data across devices.
We kept the part most people want in the first thirty seconds: live category budgeting with a visual breakdown of income versus spending. We deliberately left out bank account linking, multi-currency sync, recurring-bill automation, and shared household budgets, because those need real infrastructure behind them, not a browser tab.
Our honest advice: use Budget Board when you want a quick gut check on a monthly budget, sketch out a “what if I cut this category” scenario, or show someone else how their spending stacks up against their income. Install the full app once you want your actual transactions tracked automatically and your budget to follow you across every device you own.

Frequently asked questions
Is my financial data uploaded anywhere?
No. Budget Board runs entirely in your browser. Your income and category amounts are stored in your browser’s local storage on your own device, and nothing is sent to a server. Clearing your browser data or using a private window will not restore your entries, since there is no account behind them.
Is this a free budget planner with no signup?
Yes. There is no account, no email capture, and no usage limit. The page works the moment it loads and keeps working offline once it has been opened, since it needs no server connection to calculate anything.
Can I use this as a monthly budget calculator for real planning?
For a quick estimate, yes. It is built for seeing how income and spending categories relate to each other, not for tracking individual transactions or reconciling a bank statement. For that level of detail, a dedicated expense tracker that connects to your accounts is the better tool.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. The layout stacks the inputs and the chart vertically on narrow screens and works with touch, keyboard, or mouse. There is nothing to install, so it runs the same in any modern mobile or desktop browser.
Is this the official Wallet app?
No. Budget Board is an original tool we built, inspired by the budgeting problem apps like Wallet: Budget & Money Manager solve. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to BudgetBakers in any way. If you want automatic transaction tracking and bank-account sync, get the official app from the stores above.
