by Jeannine

Overview

A budget calendar is nothing more than a timeline to help a business person to plan for upcoming expenditures for the year. By using a budget calendar, you can focus on keeping your department within the confines of its allowable budget. If you need a way to cut supply costs, a budget calendar can easily be created using a word-processing program.

Step 1

Turn on the computer and load Microsoft Word. Go to "File" and choose "New" to pull up a blank page.
Step 2

Go to the "Table" menu and choose "Insert Table."
Step 3

At the "Insert Table" dialog box, type in "2" for the columns and type in "13" for the rows.
