A monthly budget for retired people and senior citizens

Retirement income is often fixed, while medicines and household costs can rise. budgetbaba gives retired people and their families one clear monthly view of pension income, regular bills and the costs that vary from month to month.

Start with the income that arrives each month

Record the pension or other regular income for the month, along with the account it was credited to. The plan then shows how much is needed for fixed costs and how much remains.

Plan for medicines and health costs

Medicines, doctor visits and health insurance premiums can change from month to month. Keep a separate category for health and check its total at the end of each month, so one bad month does not surprise the whole plan.

If you want advice on pensions, investments or insurance, speak to a qualified financial advisor. budgetbaba helps you record and see your own numbers.

  • Pension and regular income in one place
  • Medicines and health as a separate category
  • Fixed bills planned first
  • Family members can help with the entries
