Use these teen budget planner printables to help your teenager take more responsibility for their money and lives.
What would happen if you asked your teenager to budget?
They might:
- Ask what a budget is
- Tell you they have no expenses
- Wonder how to budget without consistent money coming in from anywhere
- Write their name on the top of a piece of paper, and stare off into space
- Need to be redirected back to the task about 17 times
Here’s the thing: teens are brand new to budgeting.
Even if they’ve filled out a teen budget worksheet once or twice.
They could really benefit from some teen budget planner printables to help them through the process.
And not only to figure out how to do it, but to learn those critical budgeting skills – the kind we want them to know how to do because we know they’ll use them over, over, and over again as young adults.
Teen Budget Planner Printables
We need to take your teen from no budgeting, or “mind budgeting” – keeping track of everything in their head – to paper budgeting.
These teen budget planner printables will help do just that (and more!).
Teen Budget Worksheet
If there was one thing I wish every teen would have access to from my website? It would be this free printable teen budget worksheet.
It’s a fantastic start to this whole “budgeting” thing.
They’ll declare their plans for a certain amount of money for a certain period of time (hopefully a week), including how much money they have to work with and where that money needs to go.
Then they’ll need to come back after that time period is up and see how things went (finding the “leaks” and “leftovers” from how they had planned to use that money).
It’s a really strong start to learning to manage money.
But, you don’t want to stop there.
Teen Budget Binder
Filling out a one-page teen budget worksheet will only take your teenager so far.
It’s a great start.
But if you’re looking to transform your teen’s financial behaviors, and give them a structured way to plan, track, and reflect on their spending and saving habits?
You’ll want the Teen Budget Binder.
It’s a fun, comprehensive budgeting experience for teens that shows them how to control their money and get the things that they want out of life – while taking care of Money Responsibilities, too.
Teen Expenses List
Why a teen expense list?
Sometimes, it’s hard for teens to figure out their expenses.
And knowing their expenses is really helpful when you’re trying to teach them to plan their spending.
Hint: because planned spending? Is just a hop, skip, and jump away from full-on budgeting.
That’s why I created a whole list of common expenses teens might have.
Your teen can use this list to plan or budget for:
- What’s expected of them (Money Responsibilities to pay for)
- What they typically spend money on
- What they might need to spend money on over the next weeks
Keep it handy when filling out a teen budget worksheet.
Print out these teen budget planners and helpful resources above to give your teenager guidance the next time you want them to work on budgeting.
