Money Per Day 'Til PayDay (mpd-tpd)

Python command-line tool for helping conceptualise how much money is left until payday

pip install mpd-tpd

mpd-tpd --next_payday '2024-07-31' \
  --money_remaining '2806.45' \
  --fixed_expenses '1269.00' \
  --currency_format '£x'

You have 9 days left (excluding today) until payday (Wednesday 2024-07-31).
You have £2,806.45 left to spend and £1,269.00 still to pay in fixed expenses before then.
This means that you have £1,537.45 = (£2,806.45 - £1,269.00) in total to spend until payday.
i.e. you can spend £170.83 per day until you will be paid again.
