Budgeting that plans ahead

Plan ahead for the money you know you’ll need.

PennyGo turns your income, bills, savings and everyday spending into a clear plan for each week, fortnight or month. See what needs to be set aside, what’s already covered and where your money needs to go — without tracking every transaction or connecting your bank.

Budgeting shouldn’t feel like a second job.

You shouldn’t have to recalculate what to set aside every payday, keep a mental list of when bills are due, work out annual costs on the back of an envelope, or renegotiate who pays what every time something changes.

And you shouldn’t have to connect your bank or hand over a detailed transaction history just to build a useful plan.

Plan what matters. Keep the touchpoints light.

Privacy-first by design

  • No bank connection needed

    PennyGo works without linking directly to your bank. You add the information your plan needs and stay in control of your actual accounts and transfers.

  • No account or card numbers required

    PennyGo doesn’t ask for BSBs, account numbers or card numbers. Name where your money lives without having to hand over your banking credentials or card details.

  • Less tracking. More planning.

    Instead of watching every transaction, PennyGo helps you decide where your next pay goes.

You decide what PennyGo knows.

More than a budget. A plan for your payday.

See what’s coming up, what needs to be covered next, where your money needs to go, and how your savings are tracking.

  • Plans forward, not backwards

    PennyGo looks ahead at your upcoming commitments and works out what needs to be set aside or moved for the week, fortnight or month ahead.

  • Different rhythms, one plan

    Your income can arrive on one schedule while bills, spending and savings run on another. PennyGo keeps those timings clear without forcing everything onto payday.

  • Makes annual bills less painful

    PennyGo works out what needs to be set aside over time based on when an expense is actually due, so annual and less-frequent bills don’t arrive as surprises.

  • Shared expenses, separate accounts

    Plan shared costs using custom contribution percentages while everyone can keep their own income and bank accounts separate.

  • Savings that grow with your plan

    Start with what you’ve already saved, plan regular contributions, record extra contributions and see your projected balance over time.

  • Share without oversharing

    Invite someone to a read-only view of your plan and choose whether their view includes your income or keeps it private.

The bills you don’t think about every month still matter.

Car registration. Insurance. School costs. Repairs. Annual renewals. The things that don’t show up every month.

PennyGo works those less-frequent expenses into your plan so you can set money aside across your paydays instead of finding the whole amount at once — see how that works when you budget around your pay cycle.
