Free household budget planner

Know what to do with every pay.

Mazoola turns your income, bills, everyday spending and irregular costs into a practical Plan Per Pay — what to spend, what to leave sitting for bills, and what to set aside before the costs that always sneak up on you arrive.

Planning and everyday tracking are free — and staying that way. No trial period, no card required. Your first visit opens with Josh & Sarah’s Example Budget, so you can explore a finished plan before starting your own.

The mazoola approach

Budget around how money behaves.

Some expenses happen every week. Some bills arrive on a schedule. Others turn up whenever they feel like it. Mazoola treats those three behaviours differently — Frequent, Fixed and Flexi — then brings them back together into one Plan Per Pay.

No spreadsheet to wrestle into submission, and no generic calendar month: the plan is built around how your money actually lands.

Less time managing the plan, more time living within it. At Mazoola, we just help you mind your money.

Less admin, more clarity

Most of what you spend is predictable.

Groceries and fuel. The mortgage, the insurance, the power bill. For most households that is the great majority of everything they spend — and none of it is a surprise. Plan for it once, let the money move as your pay lands, and that whole share simply looks after itself.

What’s left is Flexi: the irregular costs that turn up whenever they feel like it. It is the small part of your spending, and it is where almost every budget comes unstuck — usually by quietly spending money the bigger, predictable part was relying on. So that is the one part Mazoola asks you to keep an eye on.

No need to account for every coffee.

Mazoola works out your own split and shows it to you — most people are surprised how much of their spending was predictable all along.

How it works

Built for real life, not a template.

Matches your pay cycle

Weekly, fortnightly, or monthly -- your plan lines up with how you're actually paid, not a generic calendar month.

Irregular costs stop ambushing you

Mazoola builds a little breathing room into your Flexi expenses -- holidays, Christmas, clothing, car repairs. Flexi Tracking then shows what has built up for each one, and what you've actually spent.

Shows exactly what to do each pay

Plan Per Pay turns the whole budget into a short list of transfers. Set them up once in internet banking and the plan largely runs itself.

Doing this together? Household Access lets a partner view and edit the same budget from their own sign-in — everyone’s looking at the same numbers.
