Excel Budget Template

A budget template that fills itself in

Most budget templates are blank. You still have to type in every transaction yourself. AJParse reads your bank statement PDF and builds the whole spreadsheet for you — a Dashboard with charts, a full Transactions sheet, and a Budget Planner — all filled in with your actual numbers.

No bank login. No app to sign up for. Upload a PDF, review your transactions, and download your finished budget workbook in under 60 seconds.

Works with Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Discover, Capital One, and more

This is what you download

A three-sheet Excel workbook built from your actual statement. Every number is real. Nothing is made up or estimated.

The Dashboard sheet opens first. All numbers come from your real statement.

Three sheets in one workbook

Everything is already built. Open the file in Excel or Google Sheets and your budget is ready to read on the first page.

Dashboard

The first thing you see when you open the file. The Dashboard gives you the full picture of your month at a glance. Four summary cards show your total income, total expenses, net cash flow, and burn rate. Below that, two charts visualize your spending: a donut chart breaking down spend by category, and a bar chart comparing category totals side by side. No setup required. The charts are generated from your data automatically.

Transactions

Every transaction from your statement, listed by date with the description, category, and amount. The full transaction list is what feeds the Dashboard charts and Budget Planner formulas. You can filter by category, sort by amount, or scroll through the full month. If you changed any categories during the review stage, those changes are reflected here exactly as you left them.

Budget Planner

The Budget Planner lets you set a spending goal for each category and see how your actual spending compares. Your real spending is pulled in automatically from the Transactions sheet using formulas, so nothing needs to be entered manually. It also includes a 50/30/20 guide that splits your spending into needs, wants, and savings based on your actual income, and a Savings Goals tracker where you can set targets and track your progress.

Review Stage

You approve every transaction before it downloads

After AJParse reads your statement, you see every transaction on screen before the file is generated. The AI categorizes transactions well but is not perfect. If something is wrong, you fix it here. Change a category, remove a transaction you want to exclude, or leave it as is. Your exported file contains exactly what you approved.

✏️

Change categories

One click to reassign any transaction to the right category

🗑️

Remove transactions

Exclude anything you want left out of your budget

📊

Live totals

Income and expense totals update as you make changes

Export when ready

Nothing downloads until you click the Export button

How it works

From PDF to finished budget workbook in under a minute.

01

Upload your bank statement PDF

Download your statement PDF from your bank website and upload it here. AJParse works with any US bank including Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Discover, Capital One, and hundreds more. Your PDF is read in memory and never saved to disk.

02

Review and edit your transactions

AJParse reads every transaction and assigns a category using AI. You see the full list before anything is exported. Change categories, remove transactions, or leave it as is. The review stage puts you in control of what goes into your budget.

03

Download your budget workbook

Click Export and your filled Excel workbook downloads instantly. Open it in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. All three sheets are ready to use. Your transaction data is deleted from our servers the moment you download.

Your data stays yours

You never have to hand over your bank login to get a budget. Here is exactly how your data is handled.

🔒

No bank login required

You download a PDF from your bank and upload it here. AJParse never connects to your bank, never asks for your username or password, and never uses Plaid or any open banking connection.

PDF deleted in seconds

Your PDF is read in memory to extract the transaction text. The file is never written to a database or storage system. It is gone before your review page even loads.

🗑️

Transactions deleted on export

Parsed transactions live in our database only while you are reviewing them. The moment you download your budget file, every transaction record is permanently deleted.

Not just a template. Your template.

Every budget template on the internet starts blank. AJParse skips the manual entry step entirely.

Common questions

Which banks does AJParse work with?

AJParse works with any US bank that lets you download a PDF statement. This includes Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Discover, Capital One, Citi, US Bank, KeyBank, TD Bank, PNC, and hundreds of credit unions and regional banks. If your bank gives you a PDF, AJParse can read it.

Do I need an account?

No. You can upload a statement and download your budget template for $2.99 with no account at all. If you want to save your upload history and do unlimited exports, a monthly plan is available for $10.99 per month.

What if a transaction is categorized wrong?

You review every transaction before anything is exported. If a category is wrong, click it and change it. The review stage is specifically designed so you can clean up the AI output before your budget file is generated.

Does it work with Google Sheets?

Yes. When you export, you can choose Excel or Google Sheets. The Google Sheets export uploads your workbook directly to your Google Drive so you can open it immediately.

What happens to my data after I download?

Your parsed transactions are permanently deleted the moment you click Export. We have no reason to keep them and we do not. Your PDF is discarded even sooner, the moment the text is extracted from it.
