The Bills page has a Calendar view and a This Month view that both show your bill due dates next to your paydays. Compare the two and you can catch a month where a bill lands before the paycheck that covers it — before it turns into an overdraft.
Steps
- Go to Bills (opens in a new tab). The Calendar tab is open by default.
- On Calendar, bill due dates are marked in red and paydays in green — check the legend below the grid. Click any day to open a popover listing each Bill Due or Payday entry.
- Click the This Month tab for a plain chronological list of everything due this month instead, with Income, Bills, and Net totals at the top.
- Click Insights for the Needs vs Wants breakdown and trends across your bills over time.
How it works
Calendar and This Month use your saved account time zone when available, otherwise your browser’s. The default current month and today highlight update at local midnight. If you navigate Calendar to another month, it stays on that month.
- Calendar plots every enabled bill and every income source's projected payday on a month grid, colored red for bills and green for paydays.
- Open a day to see every income payment separately, including payments that arrive on the same day. An income source without a payer name shows its type, such as Pension or Social Security Retirement. Only payments within the income’s recorded start and end dates are included, with both dates included. Saved one-time payments appear once, not every pay period. Account filters list accounts with payments in the displayed month. A selected account stays visible even in an empty month, so you can clear it. If that account is removed, the internal filter returns to all accounts.
- Paycheck amounts are standard per-pay-period estimates using the current household, birthdays and shared contribution limits from Income. They do not simulate a separate tax year for each future payday.
- Everyday spending bills (Food, Fuel and Medical) that repeat on weekdays show every trip on its own day. On Calendar they use a lighter style and are labeled Everyday spending instead of Bill Due. When the month has any, a Show everyday spending checkbox lets you hide them to see the bigger bills. See Add a bill.
- This Month adds up the same information into three numbers: Income (everything paid this month), Bills (everything due this month), and Net — Income minus Bills, shown in green if positive and red if negative.
- Paydays are projected forward from each income source's Last Payday (Last Payment Date for benefits) and payment frequency — an income source without that date will not show recurring paydays. A saved one-time payment can use its start date when no payment date is recorded (see Add an income source).
- An Every 2 Weeks schedule repeats every 14 calendar days, keeping the weekday of your saved Last Payday even across daylight saving time changes.
Good to know
- To see how scheduled income and bills affect individual account balances, use Money in and out. It shows projected funding gaps and missing setup details across your selected date range.
- Only enabled bills show up here — a bill you've turned off is excluded (see Add a bill).
- Calendar and This Month can each be filtered to a single payment account with the All Accounts dropdown, if you want to check one card or account at a time.
- Beyond Payday doesn't pay bills or move money for you — it only tracks the due dates and pay schedule you've entered, so double-check anything time-sensitive against your actual bank or credit card account.
FAQ
Can I see my paydays next to my bill due dates?
Yes. The Calendar view marks paydays in green and bills in red on the same month grid, so you can see money coming in right next to what's going out.
What's the difference between Calendar and This Month?
Calendar shows a full month grid with each bill and payday marked by day. This Month lists everything due in the current month with Income, Bills, and Net totals.
Why don't my paydays show up on the calendar?
Beyond Payday projects paydays from an income source's Last Payday date and pay frequency — if Last Payday isn't set, that income won't appear on the calendar.
Is this feature free?
Yes — both views are free on every plan.
