Baby Budget & First-Year Hub App, Interactive Registry, Cost Tracker (Digital Download)

About this product

THE WHOLE FIRST YEAR, ONE BEAUTIFUL DASHBOARD 🌙

Babies are wonderful. Baby math is not. Families spend $21,000–$36,000 in year one, and most of it arrives as surprises — the diaper burn rate, the childcare cliff, the maternity-leave income dip nobody warned you about.

The Baby Budget & First-Year Hub is a gorgeous interactive app that opens in your web browser with one double-click. No subscription. No signup. No spreadsheet skills. Your data never leaves your computer.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

This is not a printable. It's a real app — 26 interactive views that calculate, chart and remember everything:

• 💰 THE MONEY ENGINE
• Budget — 13 baby categories, one-time + monthly, actuals roll up automatically
• Expense Log — with impulse-buy and HSA/FSA reimbursement tracking
• Savings Goals — baby fund, leave-gap fund, emergency cushion with auto "save this much/month"
• Parental Leave Planner — map PTO, short-term disability, state paid leave and unpaid weeks for BOTH parents; see your real income gap before it happens
• Cash-Flow Forecast — month-by-month runway from 2 months before the due date through baby's first birthday, leave dip included

• 🎁 THE REGISTRY SUITE
• Registry Planner — 89 researched items already priced, in 10 categories, with Must/Nice/Luxe priorities and a status pipeline (Needed → Registered → Purchased → Gift received)
• Gifts & Thank-Yous — never lose a thank-you note again
• Price Compare — 3-store price checks, best price highlighted
• Secondhand Savings — track every used-gear win (and know what to always buy new)

• 🧮 FIVE CALCULATORS BUILT ON REAL DATA
• Diaper Calculator — ~2,240 diapers in year one on a real size curve, cloth vs disposable break-even
• Feeding Calculator — breastfeeding ↔ formula slider on an AAP oz/day curve, solids from month 6
