Bullet Journal Savings Tracker Ideas
Bullet Journal page ideas for trackers are some of my favorite pages to create in my planner, and today we’re talking about the ones that can help with your finances.
No matter how you look at it, money gives us so many options, choices, and, of course, peace of mind. That’s exactly why a good Bullet Journal savings tracker is such a big deal. Starting small, with just one simple page to watch your progress grow, is honestly the easiest way to actually stick with it.
So let’s look at some formats you might want to try in your journal.
When we talk about managing your finances, there are so many things to consider and so many pages to create.
But I always believe that when you start something new, it’s best to start it with something simple. And creating a simple savings tracker to start putting away a bit of money every month seems like an easy step.
So let’s dive in and see which format you will pick for that tracker.

Supplies For Creating A Savings Tracker
Honestly, you don’t need that much to create a savings tracker. It all depends on how you want to make it look and how to decorate it.
So if you had to ask, I’d say you need:
- A notebook, obviously your Bullet Journal. Even though it might be a fun idea to use a notepad and put your savings tracker in some visible place where you can see it every day.
- A ruler, since you’ll probably need to draw some kind of a table.
- Fineliners, which are the blood of your Bullet Journal, I think. I love these the most.
- Markers, in case you like to add color. I’m obsessed with my Mildliners, but if you’re on a budget, these would be my close second.
Now that you have all your supplies prepared, let’s get into it.
Savings Tracker Ideas
There are many creative and fun ways you can add a savings tracker to your Bullet Journal, and I gathered quite a few ideas here.
I’m sure you’ll get inspired by these and will soon find yourself creating that perfect savings tracker in your Bullet Journal.
Simple Savings Tracker
I’ve been journaling since 2018, but somehow, even though money management was always something I struggled with, I haven’t really used my journal much for that purpose.
However, there are a few finance-related pages I created, including this savings log, that really helped me to visualize the small growth of my savings account.
For me, this tracker was just a little extra savings I’m doing. But if you’re serious about your savings, I’d definitely recommend adding some sections with the goal of your savings – if you save up for your dream trip or for some financial independence, it will be more powerful.
Savings Monopoly
I love this idea of turning a savings tracker into a monopoly game. And the rolling-the-dice part makes it feel more like a game than a hard choice.
Gamifying any area of your life is a great way to make it easier and more exciting to follow through with your habits, including a savings habit.
Photography Themed Savings Tracker
This is a very simple design, but it looks so cute. The only thing I would’ve done is probably use brighter colors. I love mildliners, but it’s all yellow, red, and green for me.
This is also a great example of what I was talking about before – it is easier to save up when you have an exact goal in mind, like a camera for this creator.
Savings Map Tracker
Speaking of turning savings into a game, here is one more tracker I’ve created. It looks a bit childish, but I think childhood is a more fun time, so I see no problem being childish in my journal.
Plus, this tracker was created at a time when I was considering moving across the world, so I thought sailing and pirates would be a good theme as a symbol of the big adventure I was about to embark on.
Mason Jar Tracker
This is a classic idea, but it’s classic for a reason – because it’s a great idea, and it works well.
In this case, the creator chose to color a section when they reach a certain number. Another option for this would be to draw coins inside the jar and then assign value to each coin as you build your savings account.
Space Savings Tracker
Beautiful savings tracker, and I love how many different designs there are for all the planets.
This is a great example that you don’t have to make your savings tracker themed around money; you can definitely create a tracker around any theme you’re currently having in your journal.
Savings Puzzle
I think this page has a very aesthetic look with the kraft paper and the washi tape. And it’s a fun idea to turn savings into a quest to color the puzzle.
This is a great idea for beginners – the design is easy to copy, and it looks very creative and beautiful.
Savings Map Tracker
This is a very simple design, but it is powerful and works well to clearly show how your savings journey is going.
I also really love that the creator added color coding to the page. I wonder if each color stands for a new month, or if they just change the color as they reach yet another milestone.
Bee Savings Tracker
This looks beautiful, and yet it’s so fast and easy to create. All you need is to draw a lot of hexagon shapes, and it can be easier achieved if you use this ruler.
Savings Jar
I love this idea of adding stickers to the jar as symbols for different amounts of money saved. It looks amazing, and it’s a fun way to finally put to use those stickers you’re saving up.
Yearly Savings Tracker
If you’re ready to crush your savings goals, here is a layout for you. This creator clearly set a 1k+ a month goal and created the graphs so each month you can see if you’re still on track with your savings.
Savings Tracker Route
It is a very simple format to create but very effective. It’s kind of like going through the labyrinth. I would love to see it filled out, if the creator will use bright colors or some patterns.
