Paycheck-first budgeting

Know what's coming out
before it comes in.

Build boards around when money actually lands — one paycheck or several, all in one place. See what's due, what's paid, and what's left before the next one hits. Built for two, so nobody's guessing.

No bank connections. No linked accounts. Your numbers stay yours.

Getting started

How a board comes together.

No accounts to link, no setup wizard to fight through — just boards built around whenever money's landing, paycheck or otherwise.

1

Add your paycheck

Every paycheck starts a new planning card. Add any income you expect this month — from work, gifts, or anything else.

2

Cover what's due

Assign bills and expenses to the paycheck that will cover them before they're due.

3

You're ready for next month

Check off bills as you pay them and watch what's left update in real time. When the month wraps, save the board as a template so next month's is one click away.

Inside a paycheck

Every bill, right where it's due.

Each card holds exactly what that paycheck needs to cover. Check bills off as you pay them and watch what's left update as you go.

Built for two

Finally, a budget your partner actually wants to open.

Most budgeting apps are built for one person to manage and another to be managed by. MyPayBoard is full visibility, both ways — no hidden accounts, no "let me check and get back to you."

Leave a note on the paycheck

Every board has its own thread — "paid this early, we had the room" beats a confused text three days later.

Named cards, shared view

See whose paycheck funds what, without needing separate logins or accounts.

Save a setup as a template

Turn a board you've built into a reusable template, so next month starts from where you already are.
