Setup

Three steps to your first zero-based month

  1. Duplicate the template into your Notion workspace.

  2. Enter your monthly income, then set up your envelopes in Categories.

  3. Assign every dollar across your envelopes, then track spending by hand or connect Finta.

Let Finta fill the Transactions database

Connect your bank, choose this page as your Notion destination, and Finta writes new transactions into Transactions. Envelope balances recalculate from there, and your allocations stay yours.
