01

The same plan, two bill dates

Daily essentials are counted from the start through the day before the end date. Include both bill dates in this window.

02

The bill you want to move

A what-if scenario until the provider agrees. Enter any extra charge; this model puts it on the proposed date. Add other transition charges below if needed. Do not enter this bill twice.

03

Confirmed income and other bills

Use confirmed dates. Pending or uncertain income can make a plan look safer than it is. Add the next occurrence of a recurring bill if it falls in this window.

How the due-date comparison works

Both scenarios start with the same balance, income and other bills. Only the selected bill moves, and the proposed scenario includes the change fee. Outgoings happen before income on the same date. This conservative order can reveal a shortfall even when that day ends above zero.

The closing-balance chart shows timing, while the largest-shortfall figure also includes the low point before income arrives. A buffer is a target, not a second expense. Neither scenario includes income or bills outside the selected dates.

A reproducible example

Start with $100 and $10 daily essentials over a 14-day window. Receive $500 seven days after the start. A $150 bill five days after the start creates a largest shortfall of $130. Move it to eight days after the start with no fee, and the lowest balance is $20; both scenarios close at $310. Moving the date changes timing, not the bill’s cost.

Ask about the first changed bill, extra charges, automatic withdrawals and the following cycle. Read how to request a bill-date change. No account changes or messages are sent.
