Now in beta

Know the money will be there.

Most budgeting tools spread your bills evenly across the year and call it a plan. But bills don’t arrive evenly. Thrifty Pig works forward from real due dates and tells you exactly what to move into each pot, every pay.

Free while in beta. No card, no bank connection.

Try it on the bill that worries you

Why budgets fall over

You sit down, work out the numbers, and a fortnight later it’s already wrong. Usually for one of three reasons.

Averages hide the squeeze

A $900 rego averaged across the year is $17 a week. If it’s due in three weeks, that maths leaves you $850 short on the day.

Bills bunch up

Insurance, rates and rego have a habit of landing in the same month. An annual average never warns you that month is coming.

One number for everything

A single balance can look healthy while three separate commitments are quietly counting on the same dollars.
