Vacation Planning
Plan a vacation without
derailing your finances.
EZBudget’s Vacation Viability tool analyses your complete financial picture — income, debt obligations, savings coverage and pay cycle timing — to find the windows when a two-week break is genuinely affordable, and warns you when it isn’t.
-
01
Models your true cost Calculates two weeks of lost net income, ongoing debt and bill obligations that still fall due, minus any accrued vacation pay your employer owes you.
-
02
Checks your savings buffer Compares total liquid savings against the minimum buffer needed to leave your regular payments unaffected while you’re away.
-
03
Scores every two-week window Each period in the next two years is scored based on payday proximity, how many bill due dates fall within it, seasonal spending patterns, and overall financial health.
-
04
Surfaces the best dates The highest-scoring viable window is highlighted on your dashboard calendar. Tap for a full ranked list with scores, blockers, and savings shortfalls.
- Lost income — two weeks of net pay foregone while away, offset automatically by accrued vacation pay from your employer.
- Ongoing obligations — minimum debt payments, subscriptions and fixed bills that continue regardless of your trip.
- Savings coverage ratio — whether liquid savings adequately cover the combined cost without dipping below a safe minimum balance.
- Pay cycle timing — windows just after a payday score higher because funds have already landed.
- Debt-to-income ratio — high debt loads reduce viability scores and surface as blockers you can address before booking.
- Seasonal spending — overlapping high-spend months (holidays, insurance renewals) are factored into the score.

Download EZBudget 4
One HTML file. Open it in any modern browser — no installation, no sign-up, no cloud. Your data stays on your device, and v4 makes no network calls at all in normal use. Free, private, offline.
What’s new in v4:
- Proactive coaching — a sign-in Recap of what’s due and whether you’re covered; a 🧭 Financial Direction guardrail that warns “at this pace you’ll come up short before a bill”; a spending watch; and encouraging, honest debt-payoff coaching.
- 🛟 Safety Net — builds toward a 6-month cushion, stricter while you carry debt, with reward goals that green-light a treat once you can truly afford it.
- Looks ahead — learns your yearly rhythm and flags a lean-income or expensive-bill month before it arrives, plus a Six-Month Glance (last 6 & next 6 months of income, expenses and debt).
- 🧮 Affordability — size a car, rent or mortgage against your real numbers.
- Vacation pay accrual & payout tracking, split-payment bills (e.g. insurance billed across several months), a credit-card headroom guardrail, and smarter forecasting for variable / flat-rate earners.
- Guided Setup Wizard and a hands-on animated Tour that runs on sample data.
- 🏦 Retirement guidance (new in 4.0.3) — extends the money waterfall one more step: debt → safety net → retirement. It green-lights retirement saving once you’re debt-free with a funded net, suggests a monthly amount, and nudges harder if you have no workplace pension (Canada: RRSP/TFSA order, with CPP/OAS as a base).
- 100% offline — no network calls during normal use (even the fonts are your system’s own); all math runs locally.
- Optional at-rest encryption — seal your records on this device with AES-256-GCM, keyed by your password (PBKDF2-SHA-512, 600k) with recovery-code escrow so a forgotten password can still be recovered. Exported backups are encrypted too.
- Never re-prompts a bill that’s already paid (double-payment safety).
- Accepts amounts pasted with commas or currency symbols (e.g. “1,560.74”).
- Honest debt-progress messaging — celebrates real balance movement, not just activity.
- The update check is opt-in, private, and only signals a genuinely newer stable version.
- Payment dates default to today again (4.0.3) — recording a bill no longer lands on a future due date.
- 200+ self-auditing money-math checks run on every launch to catch any regression.
