How Does a Savings Challenge Work?

A savings challenge turns saving into a game: you put aside a set amount on a schedule and tick it off, so you can see your savings grow. In the 52-week challenge you save the week number each week, $1 in week 1 up to $52 in week 52, which adds up to $1,378. In the 100 envelope challenge you number 100 envelopes, fill a random one each time and cross it off: all 100 make $5,050. The $1,000 chart has 40 boxes of $10, $20, $25 and $50 to colour in, and the no-spend challenge counts the days you buy nothing extra. The A4 versions use pounds: £1,378, £5,050 and £1,000.

Which Savings Challenge Should You Choose?

• 52-week savings challenge: small amounts that grow each week, with the deposit and running total printed for every week. Saves 1,378 in a year.
• 100 envelope challenge: a 10 x 10 grid of amounts from 1 to 100 to cross off. Saves 5,050, so it suits bigger goals.
• 1,000 savings challenge chart: 40 boxes to colour in, in any order, for an emergency fund or a holiday.
• No-spend challenge: a month of days to colour, with your rules, what you can still pay for and how you did.
• Savings goal tracker: a 20-step progress bar and a deposit log for any goal and amount you choose.
• Black and white versions: every template also comes in a printer-friendly black and white version with grey headings, to save ink.

How to Start a Savings Challenge

1. Choose your paper size above, download the ZIP and open the challenge you want in Word.
2. Type your name, start date and what you are saving for, then print the page.
3. Pick a day each week, such as payday, to put the money aside.
4. Tick, cross off or colour in each amount as soon as you save it.
5. Pin the page somewhere you see every day, and move the money into a savings account as it builds.

If the 52-week amounts feel too big near the end of the year, start with week 52 in January and work backwards while holiday spending is low. Pair a challenge with a budget planner so you know how much you can spare.
