Bills Payment Checklist – Free Printable

Use this printable Bills Payment Checklist to keep track of your monthly bills and never pay a late fee again!

Are you on top of paying your monthly bills?

Or does the month somehow slip past and you find yourself opening one (or several) notices informing you that your payment is late. -Gulp- And now you are using that extra money you had saved for a much needed fun night out to pay for late fees and interest charges. 🙁

I have always been very good about paying my bills on time. I could count on one hand the number of times I have been late with many fingers to spare.

But then we moved…

and I was receiving late fee, after late fee.

It seemed like the amount of bills we had increased four fold! For example, previously we only had to pay for electric, but now we are paying for electric and gas. Before our internet and phone were through the same provider and now they aren’t.

To add to that, a few of the utilities/services we are using are a bit behind on the times. They don’t have an online presence so many need to be paid via check. While several others that are up to date on technology charge an extra one to two dollars if we decide to pay via credit card. So snail mail it is! Hey a service fee of $1.50 times 5 every month adds up!

To complicate things even more, I have different usernames and passwords for each account. And we all know how confusing the passwords are these days.

“Sorry your password must be eight characters long, contain a capital letter, a number, a symbol, an inspiring message, and the blood of a chicken”.

Okay not quite, but it sure seems that way!

Monthly Bill Payment Checklist

After several months of these ‘surprise’ late fees (okay so technically they weren’t a surprise but when you discover it somehow slipped by you again, it does seem like a surprise!) I resolved that I desperately needed a master monthly bills payment checklist.

I perused the web for a bill pay spreadsheet and found a lot but nothing that exactly fit my needs. They all had the due date, bill, and months to check off which was great. But I couldn’t find any that had a place for the payment method as well as a place to list the  username and password. There were a couple that had a separate sheet for the passwords, but I wanted everything on one page.

So I decided to design my own.

And the world is at peace again!

We are finally paying our bills on time! And I’ve freed myself of the added anxiety that I had whenever I saw a late notice. No more “surprise” bills for me!

Using the Bill Pay Checklist

My monthly bills payment checklist is so easy to use and extremely helpful, you may just be wondering how you ever survived without it!

I recommend, gathering all of your bills/statements (don’t forget any automatic paid bills!). Then organize them in order of their due date. Feel free to grab an extra piece of paper to jot down each monthly expense and the day of the month it is due on.

Once you have done that, go ahead and write all of your bills on the checklist in order of their due date. This way you can easily see at a glance what payment needs to be paid next without having to jump up and down on your spreadsheet to make sure you don’t miss anything.

-> If you would prefer to type rather than write in your information, be sure to grab my editable bill pay form in the shop (click HERE). You can easily customize it with all of your bill pay information before hitting print!

There is a section to write usernames and passwords as well as the method of paying for each bill. And of course there are boxes for each month to check off when payments are made.

I love this bill pay checklist because it keeps all my monthly billing information in one central place. No more pulling up old bills to see where I scribbled my password. Or dealing with the hassle of pulling up the company’s website to see if they charged a service fee if I pay via credit card. And best of all no more late fees and unneeded interest charges!

Hooray!!!
