Planning approach

This page describes how we turn irregular deposits into a household plan you can revisit — the core service behind Frame Household Finance.

1. Map the inflows

We list every income source with typical timing: salary dates, tipped shifts, platform payouts, rental income, and seasonal bonuses. Amounts stay in THB; we note which streams are reliable versus opportunistic.

2. Separate survival from growth

Mandatory costs (housing, utilities, debt minimums, insurance) are separated from discretionary and goal-directed spending. Variable-income households need a floor number before discussing investments or large purchases.

3. Build buffers, not fantasy months

Instead of budgeting to an average that rarely happens, we set tiered targets: minimum cash to cover a slow month, a comfortable buffer, and a stretch goal after strong quarters.

4. Calendar the lumpy bills

Annual visas, school terms, vehicle tax, and festival-season travel are placed on a shared calendar with monthly set-aside amounts so they do not arrive as surprises.

5. Review when the pattern shifts

Plans are living documents. When you change employers, lose a contract, or add a dependent, we schedule a review rather than abandoning the spreadsheet.
