Family budget planning
A clearer way to plan the family budget.
Famvora Schweiz gives Swiss families free, practical guidance for planning everyday expenses — groceries, children, education, leisure and household purchases — without pushing any paid product.
Sample monthly split
Five areas, one household
Plan every part of family spending in one place.
Each category comes with plain-language guidance so you can see where the month's money is going — and where there is room to breathe.
Groceries
Weekly shopping, meal planning and ways to reduce food waste at home.
Children
Childcare, clothing and everyday costs that come with a growing family.
Education
School supplies, tutoring and setting aside a steady learning budget.
Leisure
Outings, hobbies and family time that fit comfortably within the budget.
A simple rhythm
Three steps to a steadier household budget.
See where money already goes
Group recent spending into groceries, children, education, leisure and household — no spreadsheet expertise required.
Set a realistic monthly split
Assign a comfortable amount to each category based on your household's actual rhythm, not a generic template.
Review and refine each month
Revisit the plan as school terms, seasons and family needs change throughout the year.
Education spending
Learning costs deserve their own line item.
School materials, tutoring and extracurricular activities are easy to underestimate. We help families set a steady education budget instead of covering costs one surprise at a time.
- Plan around the school calendar, not just the month.
- Separate one-off costs from recurring ones.
- Keep a small buffer for activities chosen mid-year.
"Splitting the month into five simple categories made our grocery and school costs finally feel predictable." — A Famvora Schweiz reader, Zürich
