Weekly Spending Tracker — See Your Week-by-Week Patterns
Monthly budgets hide week-to-week patterns that drive overspending. A $3,000 monthly budget might look fine until you see that week 3 alone consumed $1,800 — driven by a combination of dining out, impulse shopping, and one large annual charge.
Upload your bank statement and see your spending week by week. The patterns that emerge — which days you spend most, which weeks are consistently over budget — are the key to understanding and changing spending behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I track weekly spending?
Export your bank statement as CSV or PDF and upload it to Leaky Wallet. The analyzer shows your spending week by week, broken down by category, so you can see which weeks and which categories are consistently over or under budget.
How much should I spend per week?
Divide your monthly budget by 4.3 (average weeks per month) to get a weekly target. For variable categories like dining and entertainment, a per-week limit is more effective than a monthly limit because you can course-correct mid-month.
What is a normal weekly spending amount?
This varies significantly by location, lifestyle, and income. More useful is comparing your weekly spending against your own weekly average — the analyzer shows weeks that are significantly above or below your normal, which is more actionable than a generic benchmark.
How do I stop overspending each week?
First, identify which specific category drives your overspend weeks. Upload your bank statement to see your week-by-week breakdown. The pattern is usually one category (dining, shopping, or Uber) that spikes in the same weeks — that's the one to set a weekly limit on.
