About this file
Kakeibo is the Japanese way of keeping a household budget by hand: you decide what you can spend before the month begins, write down every purchase in one of four categories (needs, wants, culture and unexpected), and look back at the end of the month. A page at the front explains it in three steps and lists the four kakeibo questions.
Each month opens with a spread. The left page lists your income and your fixed costs, each with a total. The right page sets your savings goal and what it is for, works out what you have to spend (income, less fixed costs, less savings), shares it between the four categories, and leaves lines for notes.
Then comes a ledger page for every week of the month (weeks start on Monday and stay within the month), with a column for each category, a column for the date and one for the item, a week-total row, and a box under every day to tick when you spent nothing. A month review compares budget, spending and the difference for each category, sums up income, fixed costs, spending and savings, and asks four questions: did I reach my savings goal, what money was well spent, what could I have done without, and what will I do differently next month. At the front, a savings goal for the year with a month-by-month savings log; at the back, a yearly summary and a year in review.
Includes 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030 editions and an undated edition. Each dated edition follows the techo year: it starts in December of the year before (the 2027 edition runs from December 2026 to December 2027) and every week runs Monday to Sunday. No holidays are printed; every day has a small box instead, to mark whatever matters to you. The undated edition has the same pages with write-in months and dates: 12 months, each with five weekly ledger pages.
Every file comes in English and in English with Japanese: in the en-ja files each label carries its Japanese beside the English, set smaller and lighter (MON 月, Notes メモ), and each month also shows its traditional name, such as 師走 for December. Set in Instrument Serif and Instrument Sans, with Noto Sans JP and Shippori Mincho for the Japanese, in a deep indigo ink (never black) with hairline rules in pale indigo. Saturdays are indigo and Sundays vermilion, as on Japanese calendars, and each month has its own small seasonal sprig, from plum blossom in January to nandina berries in December.
You get 40 PDFs, one for each edition, language and size and each sheet layout, plus a one-page how-to-print guide and the font licence. Sizes: A5 148 × 210 mm (5.83 × 8.27 in) and A6 105 × 148 mm (4.13 × 5.83 in); each PDF page is one planner page at its finished size. Page counts are the same in both sizes and both languages: 2027 edition 109 pages; 2028 edition 109 pages; 2029 edition 109 pages; 2030 edition 109 pages; undated edition 101 pages. The A6 pages also come laid out on A4 and on US Letter sheets (2 to a side), with crop marks, in cut-and-stack order and ready to print double-sided: print, cut the stack along the marks, and pile the stacks in order.
How to print: print at Actual size (100 %) on A4 or US Letter, one page to a sheet, and trim; the guide gives the trim distances for both papers, and how to use the sheet files. Spreads always begin on an even page, so pages printed double-sided and stacked in order open as spreads. The pages are light on ink: fine pale lines and small accents.
